Abstract
Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for immersive media rendering with vehicle components. According to one embodiment, an immersive media content to be played back in a vehicle is identified. Audio data and vehicle component control metadata are determined in the immersive media content. The audio data is used to generate sound waves with audio speakers of the in-vehicle audio system to produce an in-vehicle sound field for a user inside the vehicle to audibly perceive. The vehicle component control metadata is used to perform actions of vehicle components of the vehicle. The actions of the vehicle components are synchronized by way of the vehicle component control metadata to specific playback times in a playback time duration represented in the immersive media content.
