An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a reproduction control unit. The reproduction control unit controls, on the basis of time information regarding acquisition of sensor information generated on the basis of a motion of a real object, reproduction of audio content corresponding to the motion of the real object by a first reproduction method in a case where the time information is within a predetermined time range and controls the reproduction of the audio content by a second reproduction method in a case where the time information is out of the predetermined time range.

A method for providing an in-vehicle indication, the method may include obtaining, during a driving session of a vehicle, external audio information about audio generated outside the vehicle; determining whether the audio generated outside the vehicle comprises driving affecting audio; and generating the in-vehicle indication, within the vehicle, when determining that the audio generated outside comprises driving affecting audio. The in-vehicle indication is indicative about the driving affecting audio generated outside the vehicle.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an audio system for artificial reality applications. One or more transducers of the audio system output, in accordance with audio instructions, one or more ultrasonic pressure waves simulating a virtual audio source near an ear of a user of the headset. A controller of the audio system generates the audio instructions such that the one or more ultrasonic pressure waves form at least a portion of audio content for presentation to the user. An array of microphones of the audio system detects audio signals in a local area. A deep neural network of the audio system processes the detected audio signals to generate enhanced audio content, and the one or more transducers present the enhanced audio content to a user.

A vehicle outputs a driving sound generated based on the driver's preference rather than outputting a uniform driving sound. The vehicle includes a sensor that acquires at least one of a facial image, an audio signal, and a biometric signal. A database stores a plurality of sound sources classified according to driver information. A controller calculates the driver information based on at least one of the facial image, the audio signal, and the biometric signal, selects any one of the plurality of sound sources stored in the database based on the calculated driver information, generates a driving sound based on the selected sound source, and operates a speaker to output the generated driving sound.

A device for extinguishing birthday candles comprises a housing, a selectively operable fan adapted to propel ambient air away from the device, and a pressure switch electrically connected to the fan such that the fan operates when the pressure switch is activated. The housing defines an air chamber and an air inlet. The air chamber is adapted to receive exhaled breath from a user via the air inlet. The pressure switch is adapted to be activated by the exhaled breath such that the exhaled breath causes the fan to operate.

A hand toy device is described that when manipulated, emits a distinct sound and provides a tactile response. The hand toy device includes a cover over a pan containing a granular and/or other sound-generating material, a plunger movable to contact and displace the sound-generating material, and a biasing member configured to bias the plunger away from the sound-generating material.
