Abstract
Various implementations include systems for rendering 3D audio signals for a vehicle operator. In particular implementations, a method of spatializing audio for an audio device worn on a head of an operator includes: receiving audio data and location data, the location data indicating where the audio data should be rendered relative to the vehicle; tracking a head position of the operator of the vehicle; calculating a compensated location of where the audio data should be rendered based on the location data and the head position of the operator of the vehicle; and spatially rendering, using the audio device, the audio data at the compensated location.
Claims22
A method of spatializing audio for an audio device worn on a head of an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving audio data and location data, the location data indicating where the audio data should be rendered relative to the vehicle;
- tracking a head position of the operator of the vehicle, wherein the head position is determined using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a bias drift correction system;
- calculating a compensated location of where the audio data should be rendered based on the location data and the head position of the operator of the vehicle;
- and
- spatially rendering, using the audio device, the audio data at the compensated location.

An audio device configured to be worn on a head of an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive audio data and location data, the location data indicating where the audio data should be rendered relative to the vehicle;
- track a head position of the operator of the vehicle, wherein the head position is determined using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a bias drift correction system;
- calculate a compensated location of where the audio data should be rendered based on the location data and the head position of the operator of the vehicle;
- and
- spatially render the audio data at the compensated location.

An audio device configured to be worn on a head of an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive audio data and location data, the location data indicating where the audio data should be rendered relative to the vehicle;
- track a head position of the operator of the vehicle, wherein the head position is determined from one of a sensor attached to the audio device or a sensor managed by the vehicle;
- calculate a compensated location of where the audio data should be rendered based on the location data and the head position of the operator of the vehicle;
- and
- spatially render the audio data at the compensated location.
