Adjusting speakers using facial recognition

A system, comprising:

• a steerable speaker;
• an actuator mechanically coupled to the steerable speaker;
• and
• a computing device configured to:
• receive a location of a user based on image data captured by one or more cameras;
• identify one or more coordinates in space based on the location of the user;
• determine an identity of the user based on the image data;
• determine a user preference based on the identity of the user;
• and
• based on the one or more coordinates and the user preference, generate a control signal configured to adjust the actuator coupled to change an orientation of the steerable speaker in order to achieve a desired acoustic environment relative to the one or more coordinates, and wherein an orientation of the one or more cameras remains fixed in space while the orientation of the steerable speaker is changed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to adjust a speaker by performing the steps of:

• receiving a location of a user based on image data captured by one or more cameras;
• identifying one or more coordinates in space based on the location of the user;
• determining an identity of the user based on the image data;
• determine a user preference based on the identity of the user;
• and
• based on the one or more coordinates and the user preference, generating a control signal configured to adjust at least one actuator coupled to the speaker to change an orientation of the speaker in order to achieve a desired acoustic environment relative to the one or more coordinates, and wherein an orientation of the one or more cameras remains fixed in space while the orientation of the speaker is changed.
