  • Binaural audio calibration
    Patent number: 10785590
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for calibrating audio of a virtual reality device, the method comprising: determining a difference between a perceived tone location and an actual audible tone location, in response to an emitting of the actual audible tone; wherein the tone comprises a spectral tone, and creating and calibrating a user ear model by: emitting the spectral tone at a random time during a simulation by the virtual reality device; determining the perceived tone location during the simulation; and computing an error adjustment for one or more geometric variables of a default ear model based on a result of the determining.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2020
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
    Inventors: Benjamin David Briggs, Lawrence A. Clevenger, Leigh Anne Hodges Clevenger, Christopher J. Penny, Michael Rizzolo, Aldis Gunars Sipolins
