# SpatialAudioExperience

Configure an audio stream for spatial computing.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol SpatialAudioExperience : Decodable, Encodable, Hashable, Sendable
```

## Mentioned in

Anchoring sound to a window or volume

## Overview

Overview All audio playback APIs support 3D spatial rendering using SpatialAudioExperience. For example, with AVAudioPlayer: // Create a player. let myPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: myAudioFileURL)

// Configure an audio player with a head-tracked spatial audio experience // so that it's audible from a distinct location in space. myPlayer.intendedSpatialExperience = .headTracked

// Play sound with the configured spatial audio experience. player.play() note: SpatialAudioExperiences.AnchoringStrategy SpatialAudioExperiences.SoundStageSize
