Abstract
Image and audio data can be captured over a period of time. The image data can be captured by a plurality of cameras positioned to capture images that sufficiently represent an environment (e.g., a movie set, scene, or office setting). The audio data can be captured over the period of time by a plurality of microphones spatially arranged throughout the environment. The images can be stitched or otherwise combined to generate a three-dimensional representation of the environment and objects in the environment (e.g., people or furniture), where the three-dimensional representation reflects changes (e.g., object movement or changes in lighting) that occurred in the environment over the period. For each period of time, audio data can be mapped to a corresponding region of the environment. Information representing a virtual environment of the three-dimensional representation of the environment can be encoded for device playback and stored.
