Abstract
Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to provide spatialized audio in virtual experiences. The spatialized audio may be used in voice communications such as, for example, voice and/or video chats. The chats may include spatialized audio that is combined at a client device, or at an online experience platform, and is targeted to a particular user. Individual audio streams may be collected from a plurality of avatars and other objects, and combined based on the target user. The audio may also include background and/or ambient sounds to provide a rich, immersive audio stream in virtual experiences.
