Audio-driven viewport selection

Abstract:

An example device includes a memory device, and a processor coupled to the memory device. The memory is configured to store audio spatial metadata associated with a soundfield and video data. The processor is configured to identify one or more foreground audio objects of the soundfield using the audio spatial metadata stored to the memory device, and to select, based on the identified one or more foreground audio objects, one or more viewports associated with the video data. Display hardware coupled to the processor and the memory device is configured to output a portion of the video data being associated with the one or more viewports selected by the processor.
