Spatial audio with remote speakers

Embodiments related to outputting spatial audio via a portable computing device are presented. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a portable computing device for wirelessly detecting a presence of a remote speaker external to the portable computing device, determining a location of the remote speaker, and establishing a wireless connection with the remote speaker. The embodiment further includes presenting visual content via a display of the portable computing device, the visual content comprising an object positionally associated with a location in a real-world environment around the portable computing device, generating an audio signal corresponding to the object, and sending the audio signal to the remote speaker. 呈现了涉及经由便携式计算设备来输出空间音频的各实施例。例如，个公开的实施例提供了种便携式计算设备，以用于无线地检测便携式计算设备外部的远程扬声器的存在，确定远程扬声器的位置，并且建立与远程扬声器的无线连接。该实施例还包括经由便携式计算设备的显示器来呈现可视内容，可视内容包括在位置上与便携式计算设备周围的现实世界环境中的某个位置相关联的对象，生成对应于该对象的音频信号，以及将音频信号发送到远程扬声器。
