20230082132 · 2023-03-16 ·

A wearable electronic device includes an anterior pendant and a posterior pendant. A first neck strap couples a first side of the anterior pendant to the posterior pendant, while a second neck strap couples a second side of the anterior pendant to the posterior pendant. The posterior pendant includes a first single channel posterior audio output delivering a left channel audio signal through a first port and a second single channel posterior audio output delivering a right channel audio signal from a second port. The anterior pendant has a single channel anterior audio output delivering a combined left channel audio signal and right channel audio signal to pull the stereo image defined by the combined acoustic signals toward the anterior pendant.

Electronic glasses that provide binaural sound
11606660 · 2023-03-14 ·

Electronic glasses track head movement of a user with respect to a location in empty space on top of a physical object. One or more processors process sound that externally localizes as binaural sound to the location in empty space on top of the physical object. Speakers in the electronic glasses provide the binaural sound to the user.

Methods and systems for audio signal filtering

Systems and methods for rendering audio signals are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method may receive an input signal including a first portion and the second portion. A first processing stage comprising a first filter is applied to the first portion to generate a first filtered signal. A second processing stage comprising a second filter is applied to the first portion to generate a second filtered signal. A third processing stage comprising a third filter is applied to the second portion to generate a third filtered signal. A fourth processing stage comprising a fourth filter is applied to the second portion to generate a fourth filtered signal. A first output signal is determined based on a sum of the first filtered signal and the third filtered signal. A second output signal is determined based on a sum of the second filtered signal and the fourth filtered signal. The first output signal is presented to a first ear of a user of a virtual environment, and the second output signal is presented to the second ear of the user. The first portion of the input signal corresponds to a first location in the virtual environment, and the second portion of the input signal corresponds to a second location in the virtual environment.
