Abstract:
A system and method for capturing and recording audio suitable for subsequent reproduction in a 360 degree, virtual and augmented reality environment is described. It includes recording audio input from a plurality of audio sensors arranged in a three-dimensional space; and for each of the audio sensors, associating and storing position information with the recorded audio input which corresponds to the position of the audio sensors in the three-dimensional space and associating and storing direction information with the recorded audio input which corresponds to the direction from which the recorded audio has been received.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for reproducing audio in a virtual reality environment, the system comprising:\n at least one audio playback device capable of generating sound from synthesized audio; a processor comprising computer-readable instructions which when executed, cause the processor to:\n receive information identifying a listener's head position and head orientation in a three-dimensional space; \n process one or more audio recordings each having associated position information which corresponds to the position the audio was recorded from in the three-dimensional space and associated direction information which corresponds to the direction from which the recorded audio was received, \n in which the processing comprises, for each of the listener's left ear and the listener's right ear, synthesizing audio corresponding to audio the listener's ears would receive from the one or more audio recordings at the listener's head position and head orientation in the three-dimensional space; and \n outputting the synthesized audio to the listener's left ear and the listener's right ear through the at least one audio playback device.
