Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for enhanced audio experiences in VR/AR applications. The apparatuses of this disclosure are adapted to record multiple binaural stereo pairs and play back select binaural pairs corresponding to users' head positions. A substantially spherical microarray is utilized in various embodiments for recording multiple binaural stereo pairs. A VR/AR headset is further adapted to track a user's head positions and dynamically play back binaural sound pairs corresponding to the head positions.
Claims9
An apparatus for binaural sound recording, comprising:
- a substantially spherical microphone array adapted to record multiple binaural sound pairs;
- and a multi-channel recording processor adapted to process the multiple binaural sound pairs thereby producing multiple pairs of binaural audio, wherein the substantially spherical microphone array comprises a substantially spherical frame and a plurality of microphones affixed to the surface of the frame, wherein each of the plurality of microphones is paired with a microphone on an orthodrome at its opposite side for recording binaural sound pairs.
The VR/AR system of claim 17, wherein the VR/AR headset and VR/AR ear set are wirelessly connected.
