Spatial delivery of multi-source audio content

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the one or more processors of the computing device to:

• receive audio data associated with a plurality of audio sources;
• render audio data from a first audio source of the plurality of audio sources for a first elevation of a plurality of elevations of a multi-layer audio stack, wherein rendering the audio data from the first audio source provides an effect causing a first audible sound to appear to emanate from a first spatial region for the first elevation, the first elevation based on data indicative of a priority that is determined from a context of a target listener of the first audible sound determined based on the target listener's usage behavior over time;
• and
• render audio data from a second audio source of the plurality of audio sources for a second elevation of the plurality of elevations of the multi-layer audio stack, wherein rendering the audio data from the second audio source provides an effect causing a second audible sound to appear to emanate from a second spatial region for the second elevation of the plurality of elevations of the multi-layer audio stack, the second elevation determined based on data indicative of the priority that is determined from a context of a target listener of the second audible sound determined based on the target listener's usage behavior over time.

A method, comprising:

• receiving audio data from a plurality of audio sources;
• rendering audio data from a first audio source of the plurality of audio sources for a first elevation of a plurality of elevations of a multi-layer audio stack, wherein rendering the audio data from the first audio source provides a first effect causing a first audible sound to appear to emanate from the first elevation, the first elevation based on data indicative of a priority that is determined from a context of a target listener of the first audible sound determined based on the target listener's usage behavior over time;
• and
• rendering audio data from a second audio source of the plurality of audio sources for a second elevation of the plurality of elevations of the multi-layer audio stack, wherein rendering the audio data from the second audio source provides a second effect causing a second audible sound to appear to emanate from the second elevation of the plurality of elevations of the multi-layer audio stack, the second elevation determined based on data indicative of a priority that is determined from a context of a target listener of the second audible sound determined based on the target listener's usage behavior over time.
