Systems for using an auricular device configured with an indicator and beamformer filter unit

An ear-bud configured to be positioned within an ear canal of a user, the ear-bud comprising:

• a microphone configured to generate audio data responsive to detecting audio;
• a storage device, configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the storage device, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a first audio data from an external device, the first audio data corresponding to a sound received form an audio source, wherein the external device is at a first location with respect to the audio source;
• receive a second audio data from the microphone, wherein the second audio data corresponds to a sound received form the audio source, wherein the ear-bud is at a second location with respect to the audio source;
• estimate an acoustic environment based on the first audio data and the second audio data, the acoustic environment including at least a first distance between the ear-bud and the audio source, and a second distance between the external device and the audio source;
• generate a third audio data based on the acoustic environment, the first audio data, and the second audio data;
• and
• cause a speaker to emit the third audio data within the ear canal of the user, such that the user perceives a sound as originating from the second location and having an orientation of the ear-bud.

A method comprising:

• receiving a first audio data from an external device, the first audio data corresponding to a sound received form an audio source, wherein the external device is at a first location with respect to the audio source;
• receiving a second audio data from a microphone of an ear-bud, wherein the second audio data corresponds to a sound received form the audio source, wherein the ear-bud is at a second location with respect to the audio source;
• estimate an acoustic environment based on the first audio data and the second audio data, the acoustic environment including at least a first distance between the ear-bud and the audio source, and a second distance between the external device and the audio source;
• generate a third audio data based on the acoustic environment, the first audio data, and the second audio data;
• and
• cause a speaker to emit the third audio data within an ear canal of a user, such that the user perceives a sound as originating from the second location and having an orientation of the ear-bud.
