Audio parallax for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality

A method comprising:

• receiving, in a bitstream, encoded representations of audio objects for of a three-dimensional soundfield for multiple candidate listener locations within the three-dimensional soundfield;
• determining listener location information representative of a location of a listener in the three-dimensional soundfield;
• and
• interpolating, based on the listener location information, the audio objects at the multiple candidate listener locations to obtain interpolated audio objects.

An audio encoding device comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• obtain two or more audio objects representative of a three-dimensional soundfield;
• stitch the two or more audio objects captured from two or more different candidate capture locations to assign the one or more audio objects to a same originating object within the three-dimensional soundfield;
• and
• compress the stitched audio objects to obtain a bitstream;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processing circuitry and configured to store the bitstream.

A method comprising:

• stitching, by the audio encoding device, the two or more audio objects captured from two or more different candidate capture locations to assign the two or more audio objects to a same originating object within the three-dimensional soundfield;
• and
• compressing, by the audio encoding device, the stitched audio objects to obtain a bitstream.
