Abstract

Claims (12)

1 . A method of processing audio in a main device, the method comprising:

receiving a first bitstream (b 1 );

decoding the first bitstream (b 1 ) to obtain decoded immersive audio content (A);

receiving a second bitstream (b p );

decoding the second bitstream (b p ) to obtain pose information (P; P″; P, V) associated with a user of a lightweight processing device;

determining a first head-pose (P′) based on the pose information (P; P″; P, V);

generating a downmix representation (Dmx) of the immersive audio content (A) corresponding to the first head pose (P′);

rendering a set of binaural representations (BIN n ) of the immersive audio content (A), wherein the binaural representations correspond to a second set of head poses (P n );

computing reconstruction metadata (M) to enable reconstruction of the set of binaural representations from the downmix representation (Dmx), the metadata (M) including the first head pose (P′);

encoding the downmix representation (Dmx) and the reconstruction metadata (M) in a third bitstream (b 2 ); and

outputting the third bitstream (b 2 ).

2 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to carry out the method according to claim 1 .
