Hi, Just noticed this the other day:
WO2012059385 DATA STRUCTURE FOR HIGHER ORDER AMBISONICS AUDIO DATA http://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2012059385 I haven't read all the 75 pages, mostly looking at the pictures :-) But it looks like it's about combining different streams of HOA content with mono streams to be spatialized on the fly (sound objects). 1. Is data structures patentable? 2. If you exchange HOA with 5.1/7.1/9.1 beds it's looks a little like Dolby Atmos, combining prerendered surround with sound objects to be rendered on the fly Roger _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
