Abstract
An audio processing system may obtain a size of a visual object to present to a display. The audio processing system may determine a virtual placement for each of a plurality of virtual speakers at least based on the size of the visual object. Each of the plurality of virtual speakers may be spatially rendered at each virtual placement through binaural audio, for playback through head-worn speakers. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
