Hi All,
I've been involved in the work being discussed around "media device
orchestration" — using an ad hoc array of connected, synchronised devices to
create an immersive spatial audio experience. It's something we've been looking
at in the S3A: Future Spatial Audio project (http://www.s3a-spatialaudio.org/).
Unfortunately, the trial production we released ("The Vostok-K Incident") is
offline at the moment — we're working to get it up and running again and I'll
let you know when it is. But there's information about how it was made and our
thinking behind it here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2018-10-multi-speaker-immersive-audio-metadata.
And some papers here: http://bit.ly/MDOpublications.
Happy to chat further about this—please get in touch if you're interested.
Thanks,
Jon Francombe
