Abstract:
Method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for virtual positioning one or more remote participants in a sound space includes structure and/or function whereby sound signals are received from a plurality of microphones in the shared space. One or more processors identifies one or more sound sources in the shared space, based on the received sound signals. The processors(s) map respective locations of the sound source(s) in the shared space, based on the received sound signals. The processor(s) receive from the remote participant(s) signals corresponding to respective position placements of the remote participant(s) in the shared space. The processor(s) mix the received sound signals to output corresponding sound signals for each participant based on relationships between (i) the respective locations of the sound source(s) and (ii) the respective position placements of the remote participant(s) in the shared space. The processor(s) then transmit the corresponding sound signals to the remote participant(s).
