Patent attributes
An audio-visual system includes an audio source configured to produce multiple audio. The system includes one or more multi-view (MV) pixels, each configured to emit beamlets in different directions in a beamlet coordinate system. The system includes a processor that receives a specification of multiple listening/viewing zones located in a listening/viewing zone coordinate system. The processor associates multiple audio and visual contents with the multiple listening/viewing zones, respectively, and determines an audio mapping that translates between the listening/viewing zone coordinate system and the audio source and a visual mapping that translates between the listening/viewing zone coordinate system and the beamlet coordinate system. For each of multiple audio generated from the multiple audio contents, the processor, using the audio mapping, identifies an audio parameter value to produce the audio at a corresponding listening/viewing zone. For each of multiple images generated from the multiple visual contents, the processor, using the visual mapping, identifies a bundle of beamlets from each of the MV pixels directed to a corresponding listening/viewing zone to form the image.
