Abstract: Audio data comprising speech is received at a first client device executing an application in an artificial reality environment, in which the first client device is associated with a speaking user. A determination is then made as to whether an object associated with the speaking user is within a field of view of a listening user of a second client device executing the application. The audio data is modified based at least in part on a set of rules and whether the object associated with the speaking user is within the field of view of the listening user. The modified data is then communicated to the listening user of the second client device.

Abstract: An artificial reality system receives information identifying a physical object and location information describing a geographical location associated with the artificial reality system, in which the information identifying the physical object includes a trackable feature associated with the physical object. Upon receiving a request from a user to locate the physical object, the artificial reality system determines a most recent geographical location associated with the physical object based at least in part on the trackable feature and the location information. The artificial reality system then communicates a set of spatial audio cues to the user, in which the set of spatial audio cues guides the user to the most recent geographical location associated with the physical object.

Abstract: An eye tracking system tracks a position and an orientation of one or more eyes of a user of the eye tracking system and determines a gaze point of the user based on the position and the orientation of the user's eye(s). An audio system coupled to the eye tracking system then detects a sound in an environment of the user. A change in the gaze point of the user is detected at the eye tracking system. Based on the change in the gaze point, a determination is made as to whether the user's attention has shifted. Responsive to determining the user's attention has shifted, the sound is modified at the audio system and the modified sound is then communicated to the user.
