Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for associating position information and sound. The method includes obtaining position information of an object at a given time; obtaining position information of a camera at the given time; determining a relative position of the object relative to the camera's position; and associating sound information with the relative position of the object. In another aspect, the position and orientation of a microphone are also tracked to calibrate the sound produced by an object or person, and the calibrated sound is associated with the relative position of the object, that is relative to the camera.
