Publication number: 20240015465Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for presenting audio content in mixed reality environments. A method may include receiving a first input from an application program; in response to receiving the first input, receiving, via a first service, an encoded audio stream; generating, via the first service, a decoded audio stream based on the encoded audio stream; receiving, via a second service, the decoded audio stream; receiving a second input from one or more sensors of a wearable head device; receiving, via the second service, a third input from the application program, wherein the third input corresponds to a position of one or more virtual speakers; generating, via the second service, a spatialized audio stream based on the decoded audio stream, the second input, and the third input; presenting, via one or more speakers of the wearable head device, the spatialized audio stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Jean-Marc JOT, Michael Minnick, Dmitry Pastouchenko, Michael Aaron Simon, John Emmitt Scott, III, Richard St. Clair Bailey, Shivakumar Balasubramanyan, Harsharaj Agadi

Patent number: 11675318Abstract: A time synchronizer receives UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time in serial+PPS (Pulse Per Second) format from a GPS (Global Positioning System) device and outputs timestamp data in multiple formats, including: CAN (Controller Area Network), Ethernet, gPTP (generic Precision Time Protocol), and serial+PPS. Multiple data sources receive timestamp data in the multiple formats and each provide data in a unified UTC time base to a sensor-fusion device. The unified UTC time base is based on the timestamp data in the multiple formats output by the time synchronizer. The time synchronizer may perform edge detection for a first transition of an internal clock signal following a transition of the PPS signal received from the GPS device. The internal clock signal may be asynchronous with the PPS signal received from the GPS device. The internal clock signal may have a frequency of 40 MHz.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventor: Aaron Simon
