STORYTELLING ENVIRONMENT: DISTRIBUTED IMMERSIVE AUDIO SOUNDSCAPE

摘要

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for outputting an audio effect on a remote device are disclosed. Embodiments select a device from a plurality of devices within a physical environment for use in outputting an audio effect. Upon determining that transmitting the audio effect as uncompressed data to the selected device would violate a predefined performance criteria, the audio effect is modified by determining, for each of a plurality of portions of the audio effect, a respective priority. Additionally, upon determining that a first portion of the plurality of portions of the audio effect is a lower priority, relative to a second portion of the audio effect, embodiments compress the first portion of the audio effect, while the second portion of the audio effect remains uncompressed. The modified audio effect is then transmitted to the selected device for playback.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code, that, when executed, performs an operation comprising:
selecting a device from a plurality of devices within a physical environment for use in outputting an audio effect; upon determining that transmitting the audio effect as uncompressed data to the selected device would violate a predefined performance criteria, modifying the audio effect, comprising:
determining, for each of a plurality of portions of the audio effect, a respective priority; andupon determining that a first portion of the plurality of portions of the audio effect is a lower priority, relative to a second portion of the audio effect, compressing the first portion of the audio effect, wherein the second portion of the audio effect remains uncompressed; and transmitting the modified audio effect to the selected device for playback.
