Audio system tuning

1. A system, comprising:

a sensor;

a processor operatively coupled to the sensor; and

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:

capture, using the sensor, depth data related to at least one position within an area;

identify one or more user listening positions within the area using the depth data, wherein the user listening positions are identified based upon object locations within the area;

determine characteristics associated with the one or more user listening positions based on the depth data;

generate, based upon the determined characteristics, a sound profile of the area; and

configure, based on the sound profile, audio output to a plurality of speakers of an audio system positioned about the area.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein to determine characteristics comprises:

identifying an object within the area based on the depth data; and

determining a relative location of the object based on depth detection.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the relative location of the object is referenced to a component of the audio system and at least one of the plurality of speakers of the audio system.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the relative location of the object is used to produce an area layout; and

wherein the area layout is used to implement the sound profile for the area.

5. The system claim 4 , wherein to configure audio output to a plurality of speakers of an audio system comprises providing audio output according to the sound profile.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the sensor is a camera;

the camera captures an image including depth data; and

to determine characteristics comprises identifying an object represented within an image.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein to determine characteristics comprises:

accessing a database to obtain a pre-determined characteristic associated with an object identified in the area based on the image.

8. The system claim 1 , wherein to provide audio output to a plurality of speakers of an audio system based on the characteristics comprises adjusting timing of the output to the plurality of speakers.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein to provide audio output to a plurality of speakers comprises configuring an audio output characteristic selected from the group consisting of amplitude, frequency, and balance.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is selected from the group consisting of a camera that captures visual images, an image capture device that captures non-visible light, an image capture device that detects reflected light, and a single device that sends and receives acoustic energy.

11. A method, comprising:

capturing, using a sensor, depth data related to at least one position within an area;

identifying, using the processor, one or more user listening positions within the area using the depth data, wherein the user listening positions are identified based upon object locations within the area;

determining, using a processor, characteristics associated with the one or more user listening positions based on the depth data;

generating, based upon the determined characteristics, a sound profile of the area; and

configuring, using a processor and based on the sound profile, audio output to a plurality of speakers of an audio system positioned about the area.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein determining characteristics comprises:

identifying an object within the area based on the depth data; and

determining a relative location of the object based on depth detection.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the relative location of the object is referenced to a component of the audio system and at least one of the plurality of speakers of the audio system.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the relative location of the object is used to produce an area layout; and

wherein the area layout is used to implement the sound profile for the area.

15. The method claim 14 , wherein configuring audio output to a plurality of speakers of an audio system comprises providing audio output according to the sound profile.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the sensor is a camera;

the camera captures an image including depth data; and

determining characteristics comprises identifying an object represented within an image.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein determining characteristics comprises:

accessing a database to obtain a pre-determined characteristic associated with an object identified in the area based on the image.

18. The method claim 11 , wherein providing audio output to a plurality of speakers of an audio system based on the characteristics comprises adjusting timing of the output to the plurality of speakers.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein providing audio output to one or more speakers comprises providing an audio output characteristic selected from the group consisting of amplitude, frequency, and balance.

20. A computer program product, comprising:

a computer readable storage device having program executable code embodied therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that captures, using a sensor, depth data related to at least one position within an area;

code that identifies one or more user listening positions within the area using the depth data, wherein the user listening positions are identified based upon object locations within the area;

code that determines, using a processor, characteristics associated with the one or more user listening positions based on the depth data;

code that generates, based upon the determined characteristics, a sound profile for the area; and

code that configures, based on the sound profile, audio output to a plurality of speakers of an audio system positioned about the area.
