    摘要: An apparatus including circuitry configured for: displaying content within a viewport; displaying a symbol representing a sound source within the viewport; detecting one or more gestures that place the displayed symbol in the displayed content; disambiguating between a first placement method, performed for the symbol, that locks the sound source to a position that moves with displayed content moving within the viewport and a second placement method performed for the symbol that is different to the first placement method and locks the sound source to a position that does not move with displayed content moving within the viewport, wherein the first placement method includes a disambiguating gesture relative to the viewport, for the symbol, indicating movement of the symbol relative to the viewport that disambiguates the first placement method from the second placement method.

    摘要: According to an example embodiment, a technique for spatial audio processing including: determining at least one spatial parameter based, at least partially, on at least one input audio signal captured with at least one first device, configured to represent at least a portion of an audio scene; identifying a portion of interest of the audio scene based, at least partially, on the at least one spatial parameter; generating at least one first audio signal based, at least partially, on the at least one input audio signal; generating at least one second audio signal based, at least partially, on at least one audio signal captured with at least one second device; and combining, at least partially, the at least one first audio signal and the at least one second audio signal into at least one combined audio signal.

    摘要: An apparatus, method and computer program product for: providing spatial audio content for output via at least one loudspeaker, determining a position of at least one audio device operatively connected to the at least one loudspeaker, providing, in response to determining that the position of the at least one audio device corresponds to an audio zone associated with additional spatial audio content, the additional spatial audio content for output via the at least one audio device, receiving an instruction to include the additional spatial audio content in the spatial audio content, and supplementing, in response to receiving the instruction to include the additional spatial content in the spatial audio content, the spatial audio content with the additional spatial audio such that the additional spatial audio content is provided for output independent of the audio zone.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising means for: causing display of at least one world-locked volumetric object having at least one non-viewable region; determining a change in a user's viewing position relative to the at least one world-locked volumetric object; determining if the change in the user's viewing position relative to the at least one world-locked volumetric object will cause display of at least a portion of the at least one non-viewable region of the at least one world-locked volumetric object; and if it is determined that the change in the user's viewing position will cause display of at least a portion of the at least one non-viewable region, cause the at least one world-locked volumetric object to be user-locked.

    摘要: A method including enabling a first user having a first user device to communicate with one or more second users having one or more second user devices via a network, wherein each user has a spatial position within a virtual space, such that, for each user within the virtual space, all other users within the virtual space have a relative spatial position; providing spatial audio data from the first user device to the one or more second user devices and receiving spatial audio data at the first user device from the one or more second user devices, such that each user is provided with audio from the other users in the respective relative spatial positions of the other users; and enabling a third user having a third user device to communicate with the first user and the one or more second users via the first user device.

    摘要: This specification describes: using a first camera of a multi-camera device to obtain first video data of a first region; using a second camera of the multi-camera device to obtain second video data of a second region; generating a multi-camera video output from the first and second video data using a first video mapping to map the first video data to a first portion of the multi-camera video output and using a second video mapping to map the second video data to a second portion of the multi-camera video output; and generating an audio output from obtained audio data, the audio output comprising an audio output having a directional component within the first portion of the video output and an audio output having a directional component within the second portion of the video output, wherein generating the audio output comprises using a first audio mapping to map audio data having a directional component within the first region to the audio output having a directional component within the first portion of the video output and using a second audio mapping to map audio data having a directional component within the second region to the audio output having a directional component within the second portion of the video output.
