During an electronic call between two individuals, a sound localization point simulates a location in empty space from where an origin of a voice of one individual occurs for the other individual.

A smartphone includes a camera that takes a picture of an ear of a user and retrieves at least one head-related transfer function (HRTF) from a database based on the picture. A digital signal processor (DSP) processes the sound to generate binaural sound, and a transmitter transmits the binaural sound to earphones or headphones worn on a head of the user.

A method provides a voice in binaural sound to a user. The method includes designating a sound localization point (SLP) with a handheld portable electronic device (HPED) and tracking the SLP with electronic glasses worn on a head of the user. A processor processes the voice with head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to generate the voice in the binaural sound that localizes at the SLP at a location in empty space at physical object.

A method provides a voice in binaural sound to a user. A wearable electronic device (WED) selects head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) based on a distance between eyes of the user. A digital signal processor (DSP) in the WED processes the voice with the HRTFs to generate the voice in the binaural sound that localizes at a sound localization point (SLP) at a location in empty space to the user.

A method provides a voice in binaural sound to a first user during an electronic communication between the first user wearing a head mounted display (HMD) and a second user. The method includes designating a sound localization point (SLP) with a handheld portable electronic device (HPED), processing the voice of the second user with a digital signal processor (DSP) in the HMD, and moving the voice of the second user in response to a microphone in the HMD receiving a voice command from the first user.

Headphones provide binaural sound from a handheld portable electronic device (HPED) held in a hand of a user. The headphones include a head tracker and a digital signal processor (DSP) that processes sound from the HPED into binaural sound. The binaural sound localizes to multiple locations away from a head of the user while video plays on the HPED.

A method provides binaural sound to a user. An intelligent personal assistant selects a location for the user where the user hears binaural sound that emanates from a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space away from a head of the user. A wearable electronic device (WED) receives a voice command from the user to move the SLP to another location.

A digital signal processor (DSP) in headphones processes sound with head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to produce binaural sound that externally localizes away from a head of a user wearing the headphones. The headphones include a microphone that receives a voice command that causes the headphones to move a location of the binaural sound.

A digital signal processor (DSP) in headphones processes sound with head -related transfer functions (HRTFs) to produce binaural sound that externally localizes away from a head of a user wearing the headphones. The headphones include a microphone that receives a voice command to an intelligent personal assistant that causes the headphones to change a location of the binaural sound.

A digital signal processor (DSP) in a wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a user processes sound with head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to produce binaural sound that externally localizes away from the head of the user wearing the WED. The WED includes a microphone that receives a voice command to an intelligent personal assistant that causes the WED to move a location of the binaural sound.
