Room-Informed Binaural Rendering - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259760 titled 'Room-Informed Binaural Rendering
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 the listener's living room.

Original Abstract Submitted
example technologies described herein relate to spatial audio on wearable playback devices, such as headphone and earbuds. such technologies may include forms of binaural rendering of audio, which is played back on the wearable playback devices. these technologies may create or enhance an immersive listening experience which, to the listener, does not sound like you are listening on a wearable device, but are instead listening to a well-tuned, well-place, three-dimensional audio system of loudspeakers in a particular listening environment, such as the listener's actual living room.
