Abstract

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that display visual content as part of a 3D environment and add audio corresponding to the visual content. The audio may be spatialized to be from one or more audio source locations within the 3D environment. For example, a video may be presented on a virtual surface within an extended reality (XR) environment while audio associated with the video is spatialized to sound as if it is produced from an audio source location corresponding to that virtual surface. How the audio is provided may be determined based on the position of the viewer (e.g., the user or his/her device) relative to the presented visual content.
