Systems and methods for a bone-conduction transducer array configured to provide spatial audio are described, in which the bone-conduction transducer array may be coupled to a head-mountable device so as to provide sound, for example, to a wearer of the head-mountable device. Audio information and a vibration transducer from an array of vibration transducers coupled to the head-mountable computing device may be caused to vibrate based at least in part on the audio signal so as to transmit a sound. Information indicating a movement of the wearable computing device toward a given direction may be received. One or more parameters associated with causing the at least one vibration transducer to emulate the sound from the given direction may then be determined, wherein the one or more parameters are representative of a correlation between the audio information and the information indicating the movement.
