SHARED POINT OF VIEW - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098447 titled 'SHARED POINT OF VIEW
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for spatially rendering sound sources in a setting based on the relative distance between the sound sources and the listener's position. The system adjusts the rendering of the sound sources to maintain spatial integrity and prevent one sound source from arriving at the listener's ear earlier than another.
- The system spatially renders sound sources in a setting based on the relative distance between the sound sources and the listener's position.
- It adjusts the rendering of the sound sources to maintain spatial integrity and prevent one sound source from arriving at the listener's ear earlier than another.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in virtual reality and augmented reality systems to enhance the immersive experience by accurately rendering sound sources in a virtual environment.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of sound sources arriving at a listener's ear at different times, which can disrupt the spatial integrity of the sound and reduce the overall listening experience.
Benefits
The system ensures that sound sources are spatially rendered accurately, providing a more realistic and immersive audio experience for the listener.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be used in gaming, entertainment, and communication applications where spatial audio rendering is crucial for creating an engaging and realistic experience for users.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be spatial audio processing algorithms used in virtual reality and augmented reality systems to enhance the spatial rendering of sound sources.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system determine the relative distance between the sound sources and the listener's position?
The system may use a combination of sensors, such as microphones and accelerometers, to calculate the distance between the sound sources and the listener's position.
What happens if the threshold criterion for adjusting the rendering of sound sources is not satisfied?
If the threshold criterion is not satisfied, the system may maintain the current rendering of the sound sources without making any adjustments.
Original Abstract Submitted
sound sources can be spatially rendered in a setting and shown through a display. in response to satisfaction of a threshold criterion that is satisfied based on relative distance between the sound sources and a position of a listener, the rendering of the sound sources can be adjusted to maintain spatial integrity of the sound sources. the adjustment can be performed to prevent one of the sound sources from arriving at the listener earlier than another of the sound sources.
