Emphasis for audio spatialization

A system comprising:

• a wearable head device comprising a display;
• one or more speakers;
• and
• one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising:
• receiving a first input audio signal, the first input audio signal associated with a virtual environment presented on the display of the wearable head device;
• processing the first input audio signal to generate a first output audio signal, the first output audio signal associated with the virtual environment, wherein processing the first input audio signal comprises:
• applying one or more of a pre-emphasis filter and a de-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal;
• and
• adjusting a gain of the first input audio signal;
• and
• presenting the first output audio signal via the one or more speakers,
• wherein:
• applying the pre-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal comprises attenuating a first frequency component of the first input audio signal,
• applying the de-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal comprises attenuating a second frequency component of the first input audio signal, the second frequency higher than the first frequency, and
• one or more of the first frequency component and the second frequency component is associated with a sonic artifact caused by a control signal change associated with the virtual environment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method of presenting an audio signal to a user of a wearable head device, the method comprising:

• receiving a first input audio signal, the first input audio signal associated with a virtual environment presented on a display of the wearable head device;
• processing the first input audio signal to generate a first output audio signal, the first output audio signal associated with the virtual environment, wherein processing the first input audio signal comprises:
• applying one or more of a pre-emphasis filter and a de-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal;
• and
• adjusting a gain of the first input audio signal;
• and
• presenting the first output audio signal via one or more speakers associated with the wearable head device,
• wherein:
• applying the pre-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal comprises attenuating a first frequency component of the first input audio signal,
• applying the de-emphasis filter to the first input audio signal comprises attenuating a second frequency component of the first input audio signal, the second frequency higher than the first frequency, and
• one or more of the first frequency component and the second frequency component is associated with a sonic artifact caused by a control signal change associated with the virtual environment.
