Real-time sound field synthesis by modifying produced audio streams

A computing device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• receive captured live ambisonic audio stream from multiple audio capture devices disposed at a venue during performance of a live event;
• in accordance with a respective location of each audio capture device of the multiple audio capture devices and for a particular location at the venue, determine a respective value of phase delay for one or more audio channels of the captured live ambisonic audio stream;
• generate a live ambisonic audio stream by applying the determined respective value of phase delay for the one or more audio channels of the captured live ambisonic audio stream;
• and
• transmit, to a client device of multiple client devices, a live video stream and the generated live ambisonic audio stream to cause display of at least a portion of the live video stream on a display of the client device while playing the live ambisonic audio stream.

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a client device from a server, a live video stream and a live ambisonic audio stream captured during performance of a live event at a venue, the live ambisonic audio stream including multiple audio channels generated from multiple audio source inputs captured by respective audio capture devices disposed at the venue;
• determining, by the client device, movement details of the user of the client device;
• in accordance with the determined movement details of the user of the client device:
• modifying a respective phase of one or more audio channels in the live ambisonic audio stream;
• and
• causing display of at least a portion of the live video stream on a display of the client device while playing the ambisonic audio stream having the respective phase modified for the one or more audio channels.
