Abstract

Techniques for processing audio data are described. An example of a computing device includes a microphone array to generate audio data and a camera. The computing device is to receive video data from the camera and identify a beam forming target based, at least in part, on the video data. The computing device also includes a beam former to process the audio data to aim a beam of the microphone array at the beam forming target.
