Abstract: Method and devices for creating a sedentary virtual-reality system are provided. A user interface is provided that allows for the intuitive navigation of the sedentary virtual-reality system based on the position of the users head. The sedentary virtual-reality system can render a desktop computing environment. The user can switch the virtual-reality system into an augmented reality viewing mode or a real-world viewing mode that allow the user to control and manipulate the rendered sedentary environment. The modes can also change to allow the user greater situational awareness and a longer duration of use.

Abstract: Method and devices for processing audio signals based on sound profiles are provided. A reproduction device can request a sound profile based on user information, device information, media metadata or a combination. The sound profiles can be customized and shared across multiple devices. User interfaces allow for the input of information that allows the reproduction device or a server in the cloud to select, modify, store, and analyze sound profiles. Deeper analysis allows for the improvement of sound profiles for individuals and groups. Intensity scoring of a music library can also be conducted.

Abstract: Method and devices for testing a headphone with increased sensation are provided. The headphone can filter and amplify low frequency audio signals, which are then sent to a haptic device in the headphone. The haptic device can cause bass sensations at the top of the skull and at both ear cups. The testing system can evaluate the haptic and acoustic sensations produced by the headphone to evaluate if they have been properly assembled and calibrate the headphones if necessary.

Abstract: Method and devices for processing audio signals based on intensity of an audio file are provided. A user interface is provided that allows for the intuitive navigation of audio files based on their intensity. A screen of the user interface is displayed, containing a plurality of selection regions. One or more selection regions display a selection option in the selection region to select a group of audio files associated with a similar intensity score. An intensity score of an audio file can be manually changed or assigned by a microprocessor.

Abstract: Method and devices for processing signals based on sound and haptic profiles are provided. A reproduction device can request a sound profile or haptic profile based on user information, device information, media metadata or a combination. The sound or haptic profiles can be customized and shared across multiple devices. User interfaces allow for the input of information that allows the reproduction device or a server in the cloud to select, modify, store, and analyze sound profiles. Deeper analysis allows for the improvement of sound and haptic profiles for individuals and groups. Intensity scoring of a music library can also be conducted.

Abstract: Method and devices for providing audio signals with increased bass sensation are provided. Headphones and cars can filter and amplify low frequency audio signals, which are then sent to a haptic device in the headphone. Customizable sound profiles based on user settings, or matched to a specific song or genre, can be sent to the headphones to improve the auditory experience.
