Abstract:
1. An apparatus for playing realistic object audio, the apparatus comprising: a deformatter unit individually separating scene description (SD) compression data and object audio compression data from inputted audio files; an SD decoding unit decoding the SD compression data to restore SD information; an object audio decoding unit decoding the object audio compression data to restore object audio signals which are respective audio signals of a plurality of objects; an object audio effect unit adding an audio effect for each object to the object audio signals according to SD information for each object corresponding to the object audio signals among the restored SD information to produce a realistic object audio signal corresponding to each of the object audio signals; an audio mixing unit synthesizing each of the realistic object audio signals into at least one sound; wherein the audio mixing unit further receives a user object audio signal which is not included in the inputted audio files and synthesizes the received user object audio signal into the at least one sound.
