Abstract

In general, the present embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for estimating spatial content of a soundfield at a desired location, including a location that has actual sound content obstructed or distorted. According to certain aspects, the present embodiments aim at presenting a more natural, spatially accurate sound, for example to a user at the desired location who is wearing a helmet, mimicking the sound a user would experience if they were not wearing any headgear. Modes for enhanced spatial hearing may be applied which would include situation-dependent processing for augmented hearing. According to other aspects, methods and apparatuses record or capture the sound experienced by a number of the participants and devices on and near the field of play, analyze the captured sound for its various components and their associated spatial content, and make those components available to participants and spectators.
