Abstract
An exemplary acoustics generation system accesses time-domain audio data representative of a virtual sound presented to an avatar of a user experiencing an extended reality world, and transforms the time-domain audio data into frequency-domain audio data representative of the virtual sound. The system also accesses acoustic propagation data representative of characteristics affecting propagation of the virtual sound to the avatar within the extended reality world. Based on the frequency-domain audio data and acoustic propagation data, the system generates a frequency-domain binaural audio signal representative of the virtual sound as experienced by the avatar when the propagation of the virtual sound to the avatar is simulated in accordance with the characteristics affecting the propagation. Additionally, the system transforms the frequency-domain binaural audio signal into a time-domain binaural audio signal configured for presentation to the user as the user experiences the extended reality world. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
