Abstract

See full text

Embodiments are disclosed for adaptive audio centering for head tracking in spatial audio applications. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining first motion data from an auxiliary device communicatively coupled to a source device, the source device configured to provide spatial audio content and the auxiliary device configured to playback the spatial audio content; obtaining second motion data from one or more motion sensors of the source device; determining whether the source device and auxiliary device are in a period of mutual quiescence based on the first and second motion data; in accordance with determining that the source device and the auxiliary device are in a period of mutual quiescence, re-centering the spatial audio in a three-dimensional virtual auditory space; and rendering the 3D virtual auditory space for playback on the auxiliary device.
