Virtual microphone
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an input specifying a location for a virtual microphone that is configured to capture audio as if located in the specified location;
initializing two or more physical microphones to begin capturing audio as if located at the specified location, wherein the two or more physical microphones are electronically or physically oriented to listen from the specified location;
combining audio streams from the two or more physical microphones to generate a combined audio signal that sounds as if recorded at the specified location;
receiving one or more portions of information relative to an environment;
determining that the specified location is within the environment; and
implementing the received environment information to customize one or more acoustic characteristics of the specified location.

Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include establishing and implementing a virtual microphone. The method may include receiving an input specifying a location for a virtual microphone that is configured to capture audio as if located in the specified location. The method may next include initializing physical microphones to begin capturing audio as if located at the specified location. The physical microphones may be electronically or physically oriented to listen from the specified location. The method may then include combining audio streams from the physical microphones to generate a combined audio signal that sounds as if recorded at the specified location. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

11. A system comprising:
-
at least one physical processor; physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to; receive an input specifying a location for a virtual microphone that is configured to capture audio as if located in the specified location; initialize two or more physical microphones to begin capturing audio as if located at the specified location, wherein the two or more physical microphones are electronically or physically oriented to listen from the specified location; combine audio streams from the two or more physical microphones to generate a combined audio signal that sounds as if recorded at the specified location; receive one or more portions of information relative to an environment; determine that the specified location is within the environment; and implement the received environment information to customize one or more acoustic characteristics of the specified location. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
receive an input specifying a location for a virtual microphone that is configured to capture audio as if located in the specified location; initialize two or more physical microphones to begin capturing audio as if located at the specified location, wherein the two or more physical microphones are electronically or physically oriented to listen from the specified location; combine audio streams from the two or more physical microphones to generate a combined audio signal that sounds as if recorded at the specified location; receive one or more portions of information relative to an environment; determine that the specified location is within the environment; and implement the received environment information to customize one or more acoustic characteristics of the specified location.
