METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING AUDIO BASED ON CAPTURED DEPTH INFORMATION
Two-dimensional image may be captured via one or more image sensors of a monoscopic camera and depth information may be captured via one or more depth sensors of the monoscopic camera. A video stream may be generated from the captured two-dimensional image data based on the captured depth information. Corresponding audio to accompany the generated video stream may be generated based on the captured depth information. The generated video stream may be a 3-D video stream. The generated corresponding audio may be adjusted based on the captured depth information. A location and/or movement of an object appearing in the captured two-dimensional image data may be determined based on the depth information and based on pixel data of the captured two-dimensional image data. Characteristics of the generated audio, such as volume, frequency, delay, and balance, may be adjusted based on the determined location and/or movement.
