Abstract: In general, various aspects of the techniques are directed to rescaling audio element for extended reality scene playback. A device comprising a memory and processing circuitry may be configured to perform the techniques. The memory may store an audio bitstream representative of an audio element in an extended reality scene. The processing circuitry may obtain a playback dimension associated with a physical space in which playback of the audio bitstream is to occur, and obtain a source dimension associated with a source space for the extended reality scene. The processing circuitry may modify, based on the playback dimension and the source dimension, a location of the audio element to obtain a modified location for the audio element, and render, based on the modified location for the audio element, the audio element to one or more speaker feeds. The processing circuitry may output the one or more speaker feeds.
