Abstract
A method includes obtaining a listening position associated with a user and obtaining audio and metadata corresponding to a rendering at the listening position. The method also includes obtaining a listening environment and determining an effect of the listening environment on the rendering at the listening position. The method further includes detecting audio interaction at the listening position by comparing an audio rendering level against a corresponding level threshold, and applying, by a processing device, an audio modification according to the audio interaction detection. Audio is rendered at the listening position based on the applied audio modification.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- obtaining a listening position in an audio space;
- obtaining audio and information corresponding to a rendering of at least one audio object at the listening position;
- wherein the information includes at least one corresponding level threshold;
- detecting audio interaction at the listening position by comparing an audio rendering level of the at least one audio object against the at least one corresponding level threshold;
- applying, by a processing device, an audio modification in response to the detected audio interaction;
- and
- rendering the at least one audio object at the listening position based on the applied audio modification.
(canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- obtain a listening position in an audio space;
- obtain audio and metadata information corresponding to a rendering of at least one audio object at the listening position, wherein the information includes at least one corresponding threshold level;
- detect audio interaction at the listening position by comparing an audio rendering level of the at least one audio object against the at least one corresponding level threshold;
- apply an audio modification in response to detecting the audio interaction;
- and
- render the at least one audio object at the listening position based on the applied audio modification.
(canceled)
A non-transitory program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine for performing operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining a listening position associated with a user;
- obtaining audio and information corresponding to a rendering of at least one audio object at the listening position, wherein the information includes at least one corresponding threshold level;
- detecting audio interaction at the listening position by comparing an audio rendering level of the at least one audio object against the at least one corresponding level threshold;
- applying an audio modification according to the detected audio interaction;
- and
- rendering the at least one audio object at the listening position based on the applied audio modification.
