  • Publication number: 20240147178
    Abstract: Some implementations relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing audio for virtual experiences. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, at a server, a first request to generate a plurality of sounds for a user device, wherein the user device is associated with a virtual experience hosted by the server, obtaining, by the server, sound source data for a plurality of sound sources associated with the plurality of sounds, obtaining, by the server, virtual experience state information that comprises a location of a virtual microphone in the virtual experience and at least one of a velocity of the virtual microphone in the virtual experience or an orientation of the virtual microphone in the virtual experience, generating, by the server, an audio mix of the plurality of sounds based on the sound source data and the virtual experience state information, and transmitting the audio mix to the user device.
