US Patent 10225656 Mobile speaker system for virtual reality environments

A computing system comprises a memory including instructions and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor, when executing the instructions, is configured to perform the steps of mapping, to a robotic speaker, a sound associated with a virtual object included in a virtual environment, transmitting information to the robotic speaker to cause the robotic speaker to move to a location in a physical environment that corresponds to a location of the virtual object in the virtual environment, and transmitting an audio signal to the robotic speaker. The robotic speaker outputs, based on the audio signal and at the location in the physical environment, the sound associated with the virtual object.
