Audio in an audio conference is spatialized using either virtual sound-source positioning or sound-field capture. A spatial audio conference is provided between a local and remote parties using audio conferencing devices (ACDs) interconnected by a network. Each ACD captures spatial audio information from the local party, generates either one, or three or more, audio data streams which include the captured information, and transmits the generated stream(s) to each remote party. Each ACD also receives the generated audio data stream(s) transmitted from each of the remote parties, processes the received streams to generate a plurality of audio signals, and renders the signals to produce a sound-field that is perceived by the local party, where the sound-field includes the spatial audio information captured from the remote parties. A sound-field capture device is also provided which includes at least three directional microphones symmetrically configured about a center axis in a semicircular array. |
