Abstract: A system includes a sound mixer and a computing device comprising a computer program. The computer program includes head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) generated for an object representing a human head by placing the object in each seat of a plurality of vehicles. The computer program is configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) on the computing device to allow a user of the sound mixer to select one of the vehicles a seat in the one of the vehicles, receive an image of an ear of the user, generate HRTFs of the user based on the image of the ear, replace the HRTFs of the object with the HRTFs of the user, receive an input audio signal from the sound mixer, generate an output audio signal based on the input audio signal and the HRTFs of the user, and provide the output audio signal to headphones of the user.

Abstract: A method includes receiving an input head-related transfer function (HRTF) and applying a shaping function to the input HRTF to generate a shaped HRTF having a minimum strength at a first point in a three-dimensional space, a maximum strength at a second point in the three-dimensional space, and a gradually increasing strength between the first point and the second point in the three-dimensional space. A system includes a processor and memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to apply a shaping function to an HRTF to generate a shaped HRTF having a minimum strength at a first point in a three-dimensional space, a maximum strength at a second point in the three-dimensional space, and a gradually increasing strength between the first point and the second point in the three-dimensional space.

Abstract: A system comprises a sound source to output an audio signal to a plurality of speakers arranged in a plurality of locations in a vehicle. A laser device is disposed on an object representing a human head placed in a seat of the vehicle to scan the locations of the speakers. A microphone is disposed in each ear of the object. A controller routes the audio signal to the speakers one speaker at a time, receives audio signals received via the microphones, and compiles binaural acoustic data for the vehicle based on the audio signals received via the microphones. The controller receives scan data from the laser device and generates geometric data for the vehicle based on the scan data. The controller generates head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) for the object based on the binaural acoustic data and the geometric data for the vehicle.

Abstract: Spatial audio is received from an audio server over a first communication link. The spatial audio is converted by a cloud spatial audio processing system into binaural audio. The binauralized audio is streamed from the cloud spatial audio processing system to a mobile station over a second communication link to cause the mobile station to play the binaural audio on the personal audio delivery device.
