It doesn't do this directly. It resets the center when you keep your head still. Your head stays still when you're watching a video on your phone, so it sets the center to where your phone is. Try looking away from your phone after it centers the audio on your phone. After a few seconds, you'll hear the center "move" to where you're currently looking.
- crazygringo 5y agoYes, that's true, thanks -- I was just simplifying. (In fact, it's why spatial audio works when I watch content from my iPad on my projector.) So let me rephrase: I'm often listening to music while constantly turning, like prepping in the kitchen, vacuuming the house, etc. Movies can rely on you looking at the screen and figuring out your orientation. If you're actively moving about, what will the music's orientation be?
