Spatial Audio Head Tracker - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259757 titled 'Spatial Audio Head Tracker
The technologies described in this patent application relate to spatial audio on wearable playback devices, such as headphones and earbuds. These technologies may include forms of binaural rendering of audio, which is played back on the wearable playback devices. The goal is to create or enhance an immersive listening experience that does not sound like the listener is using a wearable device, but rather like they are listening to a well-tuned, well-placed, three-dimensional audio system of loudspeakers in a specific listening environment, such as their living room.
- Binaural rendering of audio on wearable playback devices
- Immersive listening experience
- Three-dimensional audio simulation
- Enhanced spatial audio on headphones and earbuds
- Creating a realistic listening environment
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Augmented reality experiences - Virtual concerts and live events - Audio tours and guided experiences - Immersive storytelling and audio dramas
Problems Solved: - Lack of spatial awareness in traditional headphone audio - Limited immersion in audio experiences - Difficulty creating realistic audio environments - Inability to simulate three-dimensional soundscapes - Limited options for enhancing audio playback on wearable devices
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Increased immersion and engagement - Realistic audio simulations - Improved spatial awareness in audio content - Versatile applications across various industries
Commercial Applications: Spatial audio technologies can be utilized in various commercial applications such as virtual reality gaming, augmented reality experiences, virtual concerts, audio tours, and immersive storytelling. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way audio content is consumed and experienced in different industries.
