A system and method for providing sensory relief from distractibility, inattention, anxiety, fatigue, and/or sensory issues to a user in need. The user can be autistic/neurodiverse, or neurotypical. The system can be configured to connect to a datastore storing one or more sensory thresholds specific to a user of a wearable device of the system, the sensory thresholds selected from auditory, visual or physiological sensory thresholds; record, using one or more sensors of the wearable device, a sensory input stimulus to the user; compare the sensory input stimulus with the sensory thresholds to determine an intervention to be provided to the user, the intervention configured to provide the user relief from distractibility, inattention, anxiety, fatigue, or sensory issues; and provide the intervention to the user, the intervention comprising filtering, in real-time, an audio signal presented to the user or an optical signal presented to the user.

AUDIO BEAM STEERING, TRACKING AND AUDIO EFFECTS FOR AR/VR APPLICATIONS

A method for audio beam steering, tracking, and audio effects for an immersive reality application is provided. The method includes receiving, from an immersive reality application, a first audio waveform from a first acoustic source to provide to a user of a headset, identifying a perceived direction for the first acoustic source relative to the headset based on a location of the first acoustic source, and providing, to a first speaker in a client device, an audio signal including the first audio waveform, wherein the audio signal includes a time delay and an amplitude of the first audio waveform based on the perceived direction. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause a system to perform the above method, and the system, are also provided.

BLUETOOTH GLASSES

A pair of Bluetooth glasses is revealed. The Bluetooth glasses includes a glasses body with a first assembly portion disposed on a rear end of a temple thereof, a Bluetooth earphone having a second assembly portion arranged at a front end of an earphone body thereof, and a connection member. The second assembly portion is mounted into one end of a sleeve of the connection member while the first assembly portion on the temple is mounted into the other end of the sleeve. Thereby the temple is assembled with the Bluetooth earphone conveniently and various combinations of materials such as metals and plastic are used to increase Bluetooth glasses styles. Moreover, an adjustment knob is mounted to the earphone body of the Bluetooth earphone for switching between a front broadcast hole and a rear broadcast hole through which sounds from a speaker are output.

Loudspeaker device

The present disclosure provides a loudspeaker device. The loudspeaker device may include an earphone core configured to transfer an electrical signal to a vibration signal; an auxiliary function module configured to receive an auxiliary signal and perform an auxiliary function; a first flexible circuit board configured to electrically connect to an audio signal wire and an auxiliary signal wire of an external control circuit, the audio signal wire and the auxiliary signal wire being electrically connected with the earphone core and the auxiliary function module, respectively through the first flexible circuit board; and a core housing configured to accommodate the earphone core, the auxiliary function module, and the first flexible circuit board. The wiring process inside the loudspeaker device provided in the present disclosure may be simplified, thereby further reducing a volume of the loudspeaker device.
