  • Patent number: 11902771
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, operations may include obtaining a virtual space that includes a virtual speaker distribution of virtual speakers within the virtual space. The operations may further include obtaining an audio file that includes audio corresponding to an audio object of an audio scene and generating one or more audio signals based on the virtual speaker distribution and the audio file. In these or other embodiments, the operations may include mapping each respective virtual speaker to a respective point source in an audio localization environment that corresponds to the virtual space. In addition, the operations may include providing the one or more audio signals to an audio localization system according to the mapping of the virtual speakers to their respective point sources.

  • Patent number: 11770668
    Abstract: An audio system can be configured to generate an audio heatmap for the audio emission potential profiles for one or more speakers, in specific or arbitrary locations. The audio heatmap maybe based on speaker location and orientation, speaker acoustic properties, and optionally environmental properties. The audio heatmap often shows areas of low sound density when there are few speakers, and areas of high sound density when there are a lot of speakers. An audio system may be configured to normalize audio signals for a set of speakers that cooperatively emit sound to render an audio object in a defined audio object location. The audio signals for each speaker can be normalized to ensure accurate rendering of the audio object without volume spikes or dropout.
