REPRODUCING AN ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT FROM A FIRST SPACE IN A SECOND SPACE WHEN THE ACOUSTIC SOURCE IN THE SECOND SPACE IS A MEDIA DEVICE

摘要

In embodiments of the present invention, methods for reproducing an acoustic environment are described, which may include accessing a computer stored multi-dimensional sound profile of a first space, measuring a multi-dimensional sound profile in a second space, comparing multi-dimensional sound profile of the first space and the multi-dimensional sound profile of the second space, accessing the sound characteristics of an audio output device that will serve as the audio output device in the second space, and modifying the audio output of a media content of the audio output device taking into account the sound characteristics of the audio output device, wherein the modifying reduces the difference as determined in the comparing between the multi-dimensional sound profile of the first space and the multi-dimensional sound profile of the second space as output by the audio output device.
