Abstract
A method improves performance of a computer that provides binaural sound to a listener. A memory stores coordinate locations that follow a path of how the head of the listener moves. This path is retrieved in anticipation of subsequent head movements of the listener to improve computer performance of executing binaural sound.
Claims7
A method that improves performance of a computer that convolves binaural sound to a person during a telephone call, the method comprising:
- tracking a head path of a head of the person;
- describing the head path as a series of coordinate locations that correlate to coordinate locations in a series of head related transfer functions (HRTFs);
- improving performance of the computer by prefetching the series of HRTFs in anticipation of the head of the person moving along the head path during the telephone call;
- and
- convolving, by the computer and with the series of HRTFs, a voice of another person talking to the person in the telephone call when the head of the person moves along the head path.
