Patent ID: 10516959

Abstract:
An exemplary extended reality audio processing system (“processing system”) and an exemplary extended reality audio rendering system (“rendering system”) are disclosed to interoperate with one another to perform near-field and far-field audio reproduction. The processing system accesses audio data representative of virtual sound presented, within an extended reality world, to an avatar of a user experiencing the extended reality world. Based on the audio data, the processing system generates complementary first and second multi-channel audio data streams configured, in combination, to represent the virtual sound. The processing system directs the rendering system to concurrently render the complementary multi-channel audio data streams for the user by directing a near-field rendering system included within the rendering system to render the first multi-channel audio data stream, and directing a far-field rendering system included within the rendering system to render the second multi-channel audio data stream. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
