Abstract

Whilst it is possible to create exciting, immersive listening experiences with current spatial audio technology, the required systems are generally difficult to install in a standard living room. However, in any living room there is likely to already be a range of loudspeakers (such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and so on). "Media device orchestration" (MDO) is the concept of utilising all available devices to augment the reproduction of a media experience. In this demonstration, MDO is used to augment low channel count renderings of various programme material, delivering immersive three-dimensional audio experiences.
