Abstract
In a system and method for encoding a sound field the orientation of a computing device may be detected. Several orientation indications may be used to detect the computing device orientation. The detected orientation may be relative to a sound field that is a spatial representation of an audible environment associated with the computing device. Microphones associated with the computing device may be selected in order to receive the sound field based on the detected orientation. The received sound field may be processed and encoded with associated descriptive information.
