Patent ID: 11089425

Abstract:
The present invention pertains to an audio playback method and an audio playback apparatus in a 6DoF environment. The audio playback method of the present invention is characterised by comprising: a decoding step of decoding a received audio signal, and outputting the decoded audio signal and metadata; a modelling step of receiving input of position information of a user, checking whether the position of the user has changed from a previous position, and if the position of the user has changed, modelling binaural rendering data so as to correspond to the changed position of the user; and a rendering step of binaural-rendering the decoded audio signal using the modelled rendering data, and outputting the same as a two-channel audio signal. The audio playback method and apparatus in a 6DoF environment according to an embodiment of the present invention uses position change information of a user, changes the volume and depth of a sound source together according to the position of a user, and can thereby facilitate playback of a stereoscopic and realistic audio signal.
