Abstract:
1. A method for localized sound reproduction for immersive audio, the method comprising: receiving an audio signal containing a first audio object; accessing metadata associated with the first audio object to determine a first perceptual location and a second perceptual location, the metadata including an audio image size and an audio image position; presenting the first audio object with at least a first transducer and a second transducer, the presenting using weight factors to place the first audio object at the first perceptual location at a first resolution; and moving presentation of the first audio object to the second perceptual location at a second resolution by adjusting weight factors for the second transducer and a third transducer, the second resolution differing from the first resolution, wherein first and second resolutions are dependent on spacing between adjacent transducers.
