Three-Dimensional, Direction-Dependent Audio for Multi-Entity Telecommunication

An electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a communication system;
• and
• a computer-readable media storing instructions that, when accessed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive, over the communication system and during an active, multi-entity audio communication:
• first audio information associated with a first audio-producing entity of multiple entities of the multi-entity audio communication;
• and
• second audio information associated with a second audio-producing entity of the multiple entities of the multi-entity audio communication;
• obtain orientation information associated with at least one of the first audio-producing entity, the second audio-producing entity, or the electronic device indicative of a relative positioning of at least one of the first audio-producing entity or the second audio-producing entity with respect to the electronic device, the orientation information usable to determine:
• a first direction between the first audio-producing entity and an audio-receiving entity;
• and
• a second direction between the second audio-producing entity and the audio-receiving entity;
• and
• providing three-dimensional, direction-dependent audio information, the three-dimensional, direction-dependent audio information sufficient to enable a multi-stereo audio output device associated with the audio-receiving entity to reproduce direction-dependent, three-dimensional audio.
