  • Publication number: 20180130497
    Abstract: A system comprising a video source, one or more audio sources and a computing device. The video source may be configured to generate a plurality of video streams that capture a view of an environment. The one or more audio sources may be configured to capture audio data of the environment. The computing device may comprise one or more processors configured to (i) perform a stitching operation on the plurality of video streams to generate a video signal representative of an immersive field of view of the environment, (ii) generate a sound field based on the audio data, (iii) identify an orientation for the sound field with respect to the video signal, and (iv) determine a rotation of the sound field based on the orientation. The rotation of the sound field aligns the sound field to the video signal.

  • Publication number: 20170347219
    Abstract: A system comprising a video display device, an audio output device and a computing device. The computing device may comprise one or more processors configured to (i) determine orientation angles of a spherical video based on an input, (ii) extract a viewport from the spherical video based on the orientation angles, (iii) output the viewport to the video display device, (iv) render a sound field based on the orientation angles and the audio output device and (v) output the sound field to the audio output device. Sound sources that comprise the sound field are adjusted to align with the viewport. The sound sources outside of the viewport are attenuated.

  • Publication number: 20170293461
    Abstract: A system comprising a video source, one or more audio sources and a computing device. The video source may be configured to generate a video signal. The audio sources may be configured to generate audio streams. The computing device may comprise one or more processors configured to (i) transmit a display signal that provides a representation of the video signal to be displayed to a user, (ii) receive a plurality of commands from the user while the user observes the representation of the video signal and (iii) adjust the audio streams in response to the commands. The commands may identify a location of the audio sources in the representation of the video signal. The representation of the video signal may be used as a frame of reference for the location of the audio sources.
