Patent ID: 11881206
Assignee: INSOUNDZ LTD.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for spatially emulating a sound source, comprising:
a microphone array including a plurality of microphones;
a sound profiler communicatively connected to the microphone array, the sound profiler configured to generate a sound profile and sound beam metadata from audio received from the microphone array, wherein the sound beam metadata includes a plurality of timed sound beams defining a directional dependence of a spatial sound wave, wherein the sound profile includes a plurality of timed sound coefficients determined based on audio signals captured in a space; and
an audio synthesizer further comprising a processing circuitry and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the apparatus to:
generate synthesized audio based on sound beam metadata, the sound profile, and target listener location data, wherein the target listener location data includes a position and an orientation, wherein the synthesized audio emulates sound that would be heard by a listener at the position and orientation of the target listener location data; and
provide the synthesized audio for projection via at least one audio output device.
