Abstract
Methods and apparatus for spatial sound generation for screen navigation are disclosed. An example method for spatial sound generation comprises receiving an indication of a cursor focus position, where the cursor focus position corresponds with a location on a display device. The example method further includes receiving speech information associated with an object situated at the location on the display device. The example method also includes modifying the speech information based on the indication of the cursor focus position such that the modified speech information spatially represents the location on the display device.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a cursor focus position, wherein the cursor focus position corresponds with a location on a display device;
- receiving speech information associated with an object situated at the location on the display device;
- and
- modifying the speech information based on the indication of the cursor focus position such that the modified speech information spatially represents the location on the display device.
A system comprising:
- a computing device;
- a display device operationally coupled with the computing device;
- and
- a multi-channel sound system operationally coupled with the computing device,
- wherein the computing device comprises a storage device having machine readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the computing device, provides for:
- receiving an indication of a cursor focus position, wherein the cursor focus position corresponds with a location on the display device;
- receiving speech information associated with an object situated at the location on the display device;
- modifying the speech information based on the indication of the cursor focus position such that the modified speech information spatially represents the location on the display device;
- and
- playing the modified speech information with the multi-channel sound system.
An apparatus comprising:
- a machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computing device, provide for:
- receiving an indication of a cursor focus position, wherein the cursor focus position corresponds with a location on a display device operationally coupled with the computing device;
- receiving speech information associated with an object situated at the location on the display device;
- and
- modifying the speech information based on the indication of the cursor focus position such that the modified speech information spatially represents the location on the display device.
