Determination of acoustic parameters for a headset using a mapping server

An audio system comprising:

• a communication module configured to:
• communicate, to a mapping server, information describing at least a portion of a local area for determining a location of a plurality of locations in a virtual model for the audio system within the local area and a set of acoustic parameters associated with the location, the virtual model describing a plurality of physical spaces and acoustic properties of the physical spaces, each of the physical spaces being represented in the virtual model with a plurality of space configurations, each space configuration associated with a respective unique set of acoustic parameters stored in a respective location of the plurality of locations, and
• receive information about the set of acoustic parameters from the mapping server;
• and
• an audio controller configured to present audio content using the set of acoustic parameters.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• determine information describing at least a portion of a local area;
• communicate the information to a mapping server for determining a location of a plurality of locations in a virtual model for a headset within the local area and a set of acoustic parameters associated with the location, the virtual model describing a plurality of physical spaces and acoustic properties of the physical spaces, each of the physical spaces being represented in the virtual model with a plurality of space configurations, each space configuration associated with a respective unique set of acoustic parameters stored in a respective location of the plurality of locations;
• receive information about the set of acoustic parameters from the mapping server;
• and
• present audio content using the set of acoustic parameters.
