Abstract
A conferencing system includes a display device that displays video received from a remote communication device of a communication partner. An audio stream is transmitted to the remote communication device. The audio stream includes real-world sounds produced by one or more real-world audio sources captured by a microphone array and virtual sounds produced by one or more virtual audio sources. A relative volume of sounds in the audio stream is selectively adjusted based, at least in part, on real-world positioning of corresponding audio sources, including real-world and/or virtualized audio sources.
