Enhancing XR Audio Realism via Multimodal Scene-Aware Acoustic Rendering
summary
Samosa is an on-device hybrid pipeline that combines geometric ray-based shoebox estimation with learned acoustic priors to synthesize dynamic RIRs and convolve them with source audio in real time using roughly 3% of headset compute. It uses camera and depth feeds plus DeepLabV3+ for material masks refined via Segment Anything and a VLM, trains acoustic embeddings from ambisonic recordings across 25 rooms, and reports RT60/EDT parity with offline methods and a N=12 expert study showing better naturalness and externalization.
