Abstract: A method includes obtaining an acoustic model of an environment. The acoustic model indicates a set of one or more acoustical properties of the environment. The method includes determining a placement location for a microphone within the environment based on the set of one or more acoustical properties of the environment and a pickup pattern of the microphone. The method includes displaying, on the display, a representation of the environment and a visual indicator that is overlaid onto the representation of the environment in order to indicate the placement location for the microphone.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of playing audio is performed by a device located in a physical environment, coupled to two or more speakers, and including one or more processors and non-transitory memory. The method includes executing an operating system and an application. The method includes receiving, by the operating system from the application via an application programming interface, audio session parameters including a spatial experience value providing instructions for the spatial playback of audio associated with the application. The method includes receiving, by the operating system from the application, instructions to play audio data. The method includes adjusting, by the operating system, the audio data based on the spatial experience value. The method includes sending, by the operating system to the two or more speakers, the adjusted audio data.

Abstract: A method may include determining a location of a user, determining a virtual playback format based on the location of the user, where the virtual playback format includes a position of a virtual speaker that is fixed in an environment of the user, and determining an acoustic model based on the location of the user. The method also includes rendering audio at the playback device based on the acoustic model and the virtual playback format.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of visualizing a combined audio pick-up pattern is performed at a first device in a physical environment, the first device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes determining a first audio pick-up pattern of the first device. The method includes determining one or more second audio pick-up patterns of a respective one or more second devices. The method includes determining a combined audio pick-up pattern of the first device and the one or more second devices based on the first audio pick-up pattern and the one or more second audio pick-up patterns. The method includes displaying, on the display, a representation of the combined audio pick-up pattern.
In one implementation, a method of determining an audio emission pattern is performed at a first device at a first location, the first device having a microphone, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining, via the microphone, first audio of a sound source. The method includes receiving, from one or more second devices, one or more second audio of the sound source. The method includes determining one or more second locations of the one or more second devices. The method includes determining an audio emission pattern of the sound source based on the first audio data, the one or more second audio data, and the one or more second locations, wherein the audio emission pattern of the sound source indicates a sound level at various locations relative to the sound source.-

Abstract: A method for self-calibrating a sound pickup process that uses a microphone array in a wearable device that also includes a loudspeaker, where the microphone array being in a physical arrangement with respect to the loudspeaker. The method obtains, for each of several microphones of the microphone array, one or more transfer functions that each represent a response of the microphone to sound from a position in an acoustic space. The method determines whether a physical arrangement of the microphone array with respect to the loudspeaker has changed and adjusts the transfer function, for at least one of the microphones of the several microphones, in response to determining that the current physical arrangement of the microphone array with respect to the loudspeaker has changed.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that that modify audio of played back AV content based on context in accordance with some implementations. In some implementations audio-visual content of a physical environment is obtained, and the audio-visual content includes visual content and audio content that includes a plurality of audio portions corresponding to the visual content. In some implementations, a context for presenting the audio-visual content is determined, and a temporal relationship between one or more audio portions of the plurality of audio portions and the visual content is determined based on the context. Then, synthesized audio-visual content is presented based on the temporal relationship.

Abstract: A machine learning model can determine output frequency response at different directions relative to a target audio output format, based on input including frequency response at directions relative to microphones of a capture device. A spatial filter determined based on the output frequency responses is applied to one or more of the microphone signals to map the spatial information from the microphone signals to the target audio output.

Abstract: A method that includes driving a first speaker of a first electronic device using a mix of a first audio signal and a second audio signal. The method determines that the first electronic device is within a threshold distance of a second electronic device within an environment in which the first electronic device is located, where the second electronic device includes a second speaker. Responsive to determining that the first electronic device is within the threshold distance, causing the second electronic device to playback the second audio signal through the speaker and driving the first speaker using the first audio signal instead of the mix.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide an improved remote device user interface for enabling accurate text input into a user device. For example, a user device (e.g., an HMD) may be enabled to receive touchscreen input via input controls displayed by a remote device (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.) using a display mode enhanced for pass-through viewing. For example, an enhanced display mode may enable a larger than normal display to enhance display mode attributes associated with input entry with respect to the user device. In some implementations display mode attributes may be enabled based on context such as distance, lens distortion, lighting, minimum character resolution, etc. Likewise, some implementations may augment input controls (on an HMD) such as 3 dimensional bubbles, auto-correct controls, auto-fill controls, spatialized audio controls, virtual touch/function bar controls, etc.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide video content (e.g., a TV show, a recorded sporting event, a movie, a 3D video, etc.) within a 3D environment using parameters selected based on one or more contextual factors. Such contextual factors may be determined based on an attribute of the content (e.g., its intended purpose or viewing environment), the user (e.g., the user's visual quality, interpupillary distance, etc.), the 3D environment (e.g., current lighting conditions, spatial considerations, etc.), or other context attributes.
