Applications and format for immersive spatial sound

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are disclosed for generating a spatial audio format. An input audio source may include one or more individual channels. The one or more individual channels may be designated to be played by a corresponding one or more speakers. The one or more individual channels of the audio source may be separated. The one or more individual tracks may be input into a modeling space representing a multi-dimensional space. The modeling space may include a plurality of emitters at various locations in a vector space. Each of the one or more individual channels may be panned to one or more of the plurality of emitters. The panning may be based on a normalized proximity of the one or more individual channels in the modeling space to the plurality of emitters. The one or more of the plurality of emitters may be encoded into a single multichannel file.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
