Abstract
Various technologies are applied to focus audio received from a plurality of microphones of a mobile device. A camera can be used to portray a scene, and a selection within the scene can focus audio to a desired audio focus region. Techniques can account for movement of the mobile device or an object being tracked. Pre-computed audio filters can be used to customize the audio focus process to account for a particular mobile device geometry.
