Abstract

A communication system may include, in an example, a first computing device communicatively coupled, via a network, to at least a second computing device maintained at a geographically distinct location than the first computing device; the first computing device including: an array of audio output devices and a processor to receive transmitted speech data and metadata describing an estimated direction of arrival (DOA) of speech from a plurality of speakers at an array of microphones at the second computing device and render audio at the array of audio output devices associated with the first computing device by eliminating spatial collision during rendering; said spatial collision arising due to the low angular separation of the estimated DOA of a plurality of speakers.
