Abstract
In an aspect, a lens is zoomed in to create a zoomed lens. Lens data associated with the lens includes a direction of the lens relative to an object in a field-of-view of the zoomed lens and a magnification of the object resulting from the zoomed lens. An array of microphones capture audio signals including audio produced by the object and interference produced by other objects. The audio signals are processed to identify a directional component associated with the audio produced by the object and three orthogonal components associated with the interference produced by the other objects. Stereo beamforming is used to increase a magnitude of the directional component (relative to the interference) while retaining a binaural nature of the audio signals. The increase in magnitude of the directional component is based on an amount of the magnification provided by the zoomed lens to the object.
