REAL-TIME PROCESSING OF AUDIO DATA CAPTURED USING A MICROPHONE ARRAY

The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method of reproducing audio related to a teleconference between a second location and a remote first location. The method includes receiving data representing audio captured by a microphone array disposed at the remote first location. The data includes directional information representing the direction of a sound source relative to the remote microphone array. The method also includes obtaining, based on the directional information, information representative of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) corresponding to the direction of the sound source relative to the remote microphone array, and generating, using one or more processing devices, an output signal for an acoustic transducer located at the second location. The output signal is generated by processing the received data using the information representative of the one or more HRTFs, and is configured to cause the acoustic transducer to generate an audible acoustic signal.
