Abstract
In one method for communicating, a server can receive a first encoded media stream from a first sending device and a second encoded media stream from a second sending device from a plurality of co-located sending devices. The server can determine spatial relationships between the plurality of co-located sending devices and a plurality of co-located receiving devices. The server can select a first receiving device as a destination for the first encoded media stream and a second receiving device as a destination for the second encoded media stream based on the sending and receiving spatial relationships. The server can send the first encoded media stream to the first receiving device and the second encoded media stream to the second receiving device to be decoded and rendered. The spatial relationships can be based on physical locations for the plurality of co-located sending and receiving devices.
