Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for audio devices with enhanced directional operations. An example audio device includes an orientation determination circuit configured to determine an orientation of at least a part of a user's body, a first audio output component, a second audio output component, and a controller configured to control the first audio output component and the second audio output component based on the determined orientation. The determined orientation may correspond to a positional nature of the user within a three-dimensional space around the user. The controller may be configured to provide a three-dimensional audio environment according to the user. The three-dimensional audio environment is aligned according to a visual input provided to the user.
Claims18
An audio device comprising:
- an orientation determination circuit configured to determine an orientation of at least a part of a user's body;
- a first audio output component;
- a second audio output component;
- and
- a controller configured to control the first audio output component and the second audio output component based on the determined orientation;
- wherein the determined orientation corresponds to a positional nature of the user within a three-dimensional space around the user;
- wherein the controller is configured to provide a three-dimensional audio environment according to the user;
- and
- wherein the three-dimensional audio environment is aligned according to a visual input provided to the user.
A method for controlling an audio device that comprises a first audio output component and a second audio output component, the method comprising:
- determining an orientation of at least a part of a user's body;
- and
- controlling the first audio output component and the second audio output component based on the determined orientation;
- wherein the determined orientation corresponds to a positional nature of the user within a three-dimensional space around the user;
- wherein the controlling comprises providing a three-dimensional audio environment according to the user;
- and
- wherein the three-dimensional audio environment is aligned according to a visual input provided to the user.
