SPATIALIZED AUDIO WITH DYNAMIC HEAD TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305946 titled 'SPATIALIZED AUDIO WITH DYNAMIC HEAD TRACKING
The patent application describes a device and method for providing spatialized audio with dynamic head tracking. In the static phase, the user perceives a spatialized acoustic signal originating from a virtual soundstage at a first location. When predetermined conditions are met, such as the user's head exceeding an angular bound, the virtual soundstage rotates to track the movement of the user's head.
- Spatialized audio delivery with dynamic head tracking
- Perception of audio originating from a virtual soundstage
- Rotation of virtual soundstage to follow user's head movement
- Utilization of predetermined conditions to trigger dynamic head tracking
- Enhanced user experience through spatialized audio adaptation
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Immersive audio experiences in movies and music - Audio navigation systems for the visually impaired
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user immersion in virtual environments - Providing a more realistic audio experience - Improving accessibility for individuals with visual impairments
Benefits: - Enhanced user engagement and immersion - Improved spatial awareness in virtual environments - Increased accessibility for individuals with visual impairments
Commercial Applications: Title: "Dynamic Head Tracking Spatial Audio Device for Immersive Experiences" This technology could be utilized in virtual reality headsets, gaming consoles, audio production software, and accessibility devices for the visually impaired. The market implications include increased demand for immersive audio solutions in entertainment and accessibility industries.
Questions about Dynamic Head Tracking Spatial Audio Device: 1. How does dynamic head tracking enhance the user experience in virtual reality environments? Dynamic head tracking allows for a more realistic and immersive audio experience by adjusting the spatialized audio based on the user's head movements. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing dynamic head tracking technology in audio devices? Implementing dynamic head tracking technology may require advanced sensors and algorithms to accurately track the user's head movements and adjust the audio accordingly.
Original Abstract Submitted
a device and method for providing spatialized audio with dynamic head tracking that includes, in a static phase, providing a spatialized acoustic signal to a user that is perceived as originating from a virtual soundstage at a first location, and, upon determining one or more predetermined conditions are satisfied, which can include whether the users head has exceeded an angular bound, rotating the virtual soundstage to track the movement of the user's head.
