Environment acoustics persistence
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for storing, organizing, and maintaining acoustic data for mixed reality systems. A system may include one or more sensors of a head-wearable device, a speaker of the head-wearable device, and one or more processors. A method performed by the one or more processors may include receiving a request to present an audio signal. An environment may be identified via the one or more sensors of the head-wearable device. One or more audio model components associated with the environment may be retrieved. A first audio model may be generated based on the audio model components. A second audio model may be generated based on the first audio model. A modified audio signal may be determined based on the second audio model and based on the request to present an audio signal. The modified audio signal may be presented via the speaker of the head-wearable device.
