Abstract
A device and method for backward compatibility for virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), augmented reality (AR), computer vision, and graphics systems. The device and method enable rendering audio data with more degrees of freedom on devices that support fewer degrees of freedom. The device includes memory configured to store audio data representative of a soundfield captured at a plurality of capture locations, metadata that enables the audio data to be rendered to support N degrees of freedom, and adaptation metadata that enables the audio data to be rendered to support M degrees of freedom. The device also includes one or more processors coupled to the memory, and configured to adapt, based on the adaptation metadata, the audio data to provide the M degrees of freedom, and generate speaker feeds based on the adapted audio data.
