Abstract
A spatialized audio presentation system identifies an orientation of a virtual avatar, associated with a user engaged in a virtual experience, with respect to a virtual sound source within a virtual space. Within the virtual space, the virtual sound source generates a sound to be presented to the user while the user is engaged in the virtual experience. Based on the identified orientation of the virtual avatar, the system selects a head-related impulse response from a library of head-related impulse responses corresponding to different potential orientations of the virtual avatar with respect to the virtual sound source. The system then generates respective versions of the sound for presentation to the user at the left and right ears of the user by applying, respectively, a left-side component and a right-side component of the selected head-related impulse response to the sound. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.
