  • Apparatus and method to provide situational awareness using positional sensors and virtual acoustic modeling
    Patent number: 12052559
    Abstract: A situation awareness system is provided and includes sensors configured to sense an object and generate signals of the sensed object. An identification and classification module is in communication with the sensors. The identification and classification module is configured to identify the sensed object and determine the position, speed and direction of each sensed object. A sound synthesis module is in communication with the identification and classification module. The sound synthesis module is configured to create sounds for the sensed object and further configured to create a binaural virtual acoustic model for the sensed object. The binaural virtual acoustic model is used to position the sensed object in virtual space at a location corresponding to its location in real space. One or more beam forming arrays is in communication with the sound synthesis module and configured to delivery sound. The delivered sound increases the situational awareness of a vehicle operator.
