Systems and methods for rendering spatial audio using spatialization shaders

Abstract

Systems and methods spatial audio rendering using spatialization shaders in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a spatial audio system, including a plurality of loudspeakers, where each loudspeaker includes at least one driver, a processor, and a memory containing a spatial audio rendering application, where the spatial audio rendering application directs the processor to obtain a plurality of audio stems, obtain a position and a rotation of each loudspeaker in the plurality of loudspeakers, obtain a relative location for each audio stem to be rendered, calculate a plurality of tuning parameters for each loudspeaker in the plurality of loudspeakers, provide the plurality of tuning parameters, the position and rotation of each loudspeaker to a spatialization shader, generate a driver feed for each driver in the plurality of loudspeakers using the spatialization shader, and render each audio stem at their respective location using the loudspeakers.
