Images of a user's head are acquired at a plurality of different orientational angles through image sensors operating in conjunction with a media consumption system. The acquired images of the user's head are used to select or predict a specific personalized head related transfer function for the user. Spatial audio rendered by audio speakers operating in conjunction with the media consumption system is adjusted or modified based at least in part on the specific personalized HRTF selected for the user.

Head tracking and HRTF prediction

Images of an actual rendering environment are acquired through image sensors operating in conjunction with a media consumption system. The acquired images of the actual rendering environment are used to predict audio characteristics of objects present in the actual rendering environment. Spatial audio rendered, to a user in the actual rendering environment, by audio speakers operating in conjunction with the media consumption system is adjusted or modified based at least in part on the audio characteristics of the objects present in the actual rendering environment.

Peripheral-vision expanded images are streamed to a video streaming client. The peripheral-vision expanded images are generated from source images in reference to view directions of the viewer at respective time points. View direction data is collected and received in real time while the viewer is viewing display images derived from the peripheral-vision expanded images. A second peripheral-vision expanded image is generated from a second source image in reference to a second view direction of the viewer at a second time point. The second peripheral-vision expanded image has a focal-vision image portion covering the second view direction of the viewer and a peripheral-vision image portion outside the focal-vision image portion. The second peripheral-vision expanded image is transmitted to the video streaming client.
