Patent attributes
A device includes one or more processors configured to receive, via wireless transmission from a streaming device, encoded ambisonics audio data representing a sound field. The one or more processors are also configured to perform decoding of the ambisonics audio data to generate decoded ambisonics audio data. The decoding of the ambisonics audio data includes base layer decoding of a base layer of the encoded ambisonics audio data and selectively includes enhancement layer decoding in response to an amount of movement of the device. The one or more processors are further configured to adjust the decoded ambisonics audio data to alter the sound field based on data associated with at least one of a translation or an orientation associated with the movement of the device. The one or more processors are also configured to output the adjusted decoded ambisonics audio data to two or more loudspeakers for playback.
