  • Patent number: 11990110
    Abstract: Methods and systems for estimating diffraction effects during sound propagation in a scene, which include generating, for each distance value from distance values, a subpath between a first point of the scene and a second point of the scene passing through a third point of the scene which is at a distance from a path between the first point and the second point equal to the distance value. Furthermore, for each generated subpath, a transmission value related to a degree of occlusion of the subpath by objects in the scene is determined. Also, a diffraction amplitude response is determined using a first transmission value determined for a first subpath generated for a first distance value from the distance values and a second transmission value determined for a second subpath generated for a second distance value from the distance values.

  • Publication number: 20220206745
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer software are disclosed for determining group dynamics. This can include receiving input data related to a particular group and determining, by a machine learning algorithm, a quantified group dynamic for the particular group. The machine learning algorithm can be trained with at least group information, user information, sensor data, and subjective evaluation data. A client device can generate an electronic indication of the quantified group dynamic.

  • Patent number: 11275557
    Abstract: First sensor data may be acquired from a first galvanic skin response sensor monitoring a first user. Second sensor data may be acquired from a second galvanic skin response sensor monitoring a second user. At least one programmable processor may generate a compatibility score between the first user and the second user. The generating may include executing a compatibility algorithm to generate the compatibility score based at least on a comparison of at least one type of response contained in the first sensor data and the second sensor data. A client device may generate an electronic indication of the compatibility score.

  • Patent number: 11122384
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for binaural spatial audio processing based on a pair of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) for each of a listener's two ears to synthesize a binaural sound that seems to come from a particular point in space. Applications of the disclosed devices, systems and methods include digital audio reproduction, recording, and multimedia applications including virtual reality and augmented reality experiences.

  • Patent number: 8515105
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a sound that simulates a fictitious sound perceived to emanate from a fictitious sound location is disclosed. In at least one aspect, the system includes a first surface serving to at least partially enclose a first region, a first speaker positioned on the first surface, a second region within the first region, and a sound reflecting boundary to enclose the first region. The system further includes a first fictitious source location within the first region, the location being outside of the second region, and a control device coupled at least indirectly within the first speaker. The control device generates control signals configured to cause the first speaker to generate sounds that in turn produce actual sounds that simulate fictitious sounds perceived to emanate from fictitious sound locations.
