Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for videoconferencing. The present implementations more specifically relate to audio signal processing techniques that can be used to identify speakers in a videoconference. In some aspects, an audio signal processor may map each speaker in a videoconference to a respective spatial direction and transform the audio signals received from each speaker using one or more transfer functions associated with the spatial direction to which the speaker is mapped. The audio signal processor may further transmit the transformed audio signals to an audio output device that emits sounds waves having a directionality associated with the transformation. For example, the audio signal processor may apply one or more head-related transfer functions to the audio signals received from a particular speaker so that the sound waves emitted by the audio output device are perceived as originating from the spatial direction to which the speaker is mapped.
