Abstract: This disclosure relates in general to augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), or extended reality (XR) environmental mapping. Specifically, this disclosure relates to AR, MR, or XR audio mapping in an AR, MR, or XR environment. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods allow the environment to be mapped based on a recording. In some embodiments, the audio mapping information is associated to voxels located in the environment.

Abstract: To facilitate communicating payload data to a destination, a computing system varies audio-rendering-directive metadata over time in a manner that represents the payload data and outputs the varied audio-rendering-directive metadata over time for communication along with an audio stream to the destination to facilitate rendering of the audio stream at the destination in accordance with the varied audio-rendering-directive metadata over time. The rendering of the audio stream at the destination conveys the payload data by being in accordance with the varied audio-rendering-directive metadata over time that represents the payload data. Thus, an audio meter operating at the destination could detect associated variation in the rendered audio stream and map that detected variation in the rendered audio stream to the payload data, thereby receiving the payload data.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for presenting an audio signal to a user of a wearable head device. According to an example method, a source location corresponding to the audio signal is identified. For each of the respective left and right ear of the user, a virtual speaker position, of a virtual speaker array, is determined, the virtual speaker position collinear with the source location and with a position of the respective ear. For each of the respective left and right ear of the user, a head-related transfer function (HRTF) corresponding to the virtual speaker position and to the respective ear is determined; and the output audio signal is presented to the respective ear of the user via one or more speakers associated with the wearable head device. Processing the audio signal includes applying the HRTF to the audio signal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for generating and presenting virtual audio for mixed reality systems. A method may include determining a collision between a first object and a second object, wherein the first object comprises a first virtual object. A memory storing one or more audio models can be accessed. It can be determined if the one or more audio models stored in the memory comprises an audio model corresponding to the first object. In accordance with a determination that the one or more audio models comprises an audio model corresponding to the first object, an audio signal can be synthesized, wherein the audio signal is based on the collision and the audio model corresponding to the first object, and the audio signal can be presented to a user via a speaker of a head-wearable device.
