Current speakers on IoT hubs are limited, as they do not provide spatial audio experiences. Current spatial audio techniques do not scale to IoT needs, due to high cost, maintenance, and latency. To provide spatial audio for existing IoT environments, we propose and demonstrate a distributed spatial audio system that uses time-domain crosstalk cancellation among a multi-speaker IoT system to position virtual audio throughout a room.
