3D AUDIO DELIVERY ACCOMPANYING 3D DISPLAY SUPPORTED BY VIEWER/LISTENER POSITION AND ORIENTATION TRACKING
First Claim
1. A method supporting a viewer of a three-dimensional visual presentation within a premises, the viewer having a first orientation within the premises, the method comprising:
- identifying at least one positional characteristic relating to the first orientation of the viewer within the premises;
delivering a video output, tailored based at least in part on the at least one positional characteristic, for the three-dimensional visual presentation to the viewer in the first orientation; and
delivering an audio output, tailored based at least in part on the at least one positional characteristic, to audibly supplement the video output for the viewer in the first orientation.

Abstract
Techniques are described herein for supporting 3D audio delivery accompanying 3D display supported by viewer/listener position and orientation tracking. For example, audio content is configured to have a spatial orientation that accords with an orientation of a viewer. A spatial orientation of audio content is a configuration of the audio content in which characteristics of respective portions of the audio content, which correspond to respective speakers, indicate an orientation of ears of a viewer/listener with respect to sound source(s) that correspond to (e.g., are depicted in) a three-dimensional view. Such a characteristic may include an amplitude of sound that corresponds to a sound source and/or a delay associated with the sound that corresponds to the sound source.

9. Media circuitry supporting a viewer of a three-dimensional visual presentation within a premises, the viewer having a first orientation within the premises, the media circuitry comprising:
-
first circuitry that identifies at least one positional characteristic relating to the first orientation of the viewer within the premises; second circuitry that delivers a video output for the three-dimensional visual presentation to the viewer in the first orientation; and third circuitry that delivers an audio output that is tailored based at least in part on the at least one positional characteristic, the audio output supplementing the video output for the viewer in the first orientation. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method relating to delivery of an audio experience for ears of a listener via a plurality of speakers, the audio experience to be established based on audio output that is based on audio content, the audio content having a spatial orientation, the listener being at a first location, the ears of the listener being in either a first orientation or a second orientation with respect to the plurality of speakers, the method comprising:
-
detecting the ears of the listener being in the first orientation with respect to the plurality of speakers; delivering first audio output to attempt to establish, with the spatial orientation of the audio content, the audio experience for the ears of the listener in the first orientation; detecting the ears of the listener being in the second orientation with respect to the plurality of speakers; and delivering second audio output to attempt to establish, with the spatial orientation of the audio content, the audio experience for the ears of the listener in the second orientation. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
