Abstract
A computer network teleconferencing system is provided in which audio signals are coupled to or associated with source indicators, such as source addresses in TCP protocol packets. Three-dimensional spatialization transforms are applied to audio data according to the source of such data so that, upon reproduction, a listener perceives different participants as being located in different spaced-apart locations within a 3-D spatialization region. Preferably, the user may select or modify the apparent location of the teleconference participants.
