Methods and Systems for Automatically Updating Look Directions of Radiation Patterns

An electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory having instructions stored therein which when executed by the at least one processor causes the electronic device to:
• receive an audio object of a sound program, the audio object comprising a radiation pattern for projecting sound towards a look direction of the audio object within a three-dimensional (3D) scene;
• assign a point within the 3D scene of which the look direction of the audio object is to be directed towards;
• determine one or more orientation parameters for the look direction of the audio object;
• determine whether there is motion of the point or of the audio object within the 3D scene;
• and
• responsive to a determination that there is motion of the point or the audio object, update, based on the motion and without user intervention, the one or more orientation parameters to maintain the look direction directed towards the point.
