Publication number: 20240048932Abstract: An apparatus and method of generating personalized HRTFs. The system is prepared by calculating a model for HRTFs described as the relationship between a finite example set of input data, namely anthropometric measures and demographic information for a set of individuals, and a corresponding set of output data, namely HRTFs numerically simulated using a high-resolution database of 3D scans of the same set of individuals. At the time of use, the system queries the user for their demographic information, and then from a series of images of the user, the system detects and measures various anthropometric characteristics. The system then applies the prepared model to the anthropometric and demographic data as part of generating a personalized HRTF. In this manner, the personalized HRTF can be generated with more convenience than by performing a high-resolution scan or an acoustic measurement of the user, and with less computational complexity than by numerically simulating their HRTF.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: McGregor Steele JOYNER, Alex BRANDMEYER, Scott DALY, Jeffrey Ross BAKER, Andrea FANELLI, Poppy Anne Carrie CRUM

Publication number: 20230262287Abstract: Creative intent input describing emotion expectations and narrative information relating to media content is received. Expected physiologically observable states relating to the media content are generated based on the creative intent input. An audiovisual content signal with the media content and media metadata comprising the physiologically observable states is provided to a playback apparatus. The audiovisual content signal causes the playback device to use physiological monitoring signals to determine, with respect to a viewer, assessed physiologically observable states relating to the media content and generate, based on the expected physiologically observable states and the assessed physiologically observable states, modified media content to be rendered to the viewer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Scott DALY, Poppy Anne Carrie CRUM, Evan David GITTERMAN, Shane Mario RUGGIERI

Publication number: 20230071021Abstract: A system for determining a direction of gaze of a user, comprising a set of electrodes arranged on earpieces, each electrode comprising a patch of compressible and electrically conducting foam material. The system further includes circuitry connected to the electrodes and configured to receive a set of voltage signals from a set of electrodes arranged on an audio endpoint worn by a user, multiplex said voltage signals into an input signal, remove a predicted central voltage from said input signal, to provide a detrended signal, and determine said gaze direction based on said detrended signal. Such conducting foam materials provide satisfactory bio-sensing performance for a wide range of compression levels and over time. In the case of on-ear headphones, the foam electrodes may be integrated in the cuffs with little or no effect on the comfort level.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Andrea FANELLI, Evan David GITTERMAN, Nathan Carl SWEDLOW, Alex BRANDMEYER, McGregor Steele JOYNER, Poppy Anne Carrie CRUM

Patent number: 11523245Abstract: Some implementations may involve receiving, via an interface system, personnel location data indicating a location of at least one person and receiving, from an orientation system, headset orientation data corresponding with the orientation of a headset. First environmental element location data, indicating a location of at least a first environmental element, may be determined. Based at least in part on the headset orientation data, the personnel location data and the first environmental element location data, headset coordinate locations of at least one person and at least the first environmental element in a headset coordinate system corresponding with the orientation of the headset may be determined. An apparatus may be caused to provide spatialization indications of the headset coordinate locations. Providing the spatialization indications may involve controlling a speaker system to provide environmental element sonification corresponding with at least the first environmental element location data.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventor: Poppy Anne Carrie Crum

Publication number: 20220366919Abstract: Encoding/decoding techniques where multiple transform parameter sets are encoded together with a rendered playback presentation of an input audio content. The multiple transform parameters are used on the decoder side to transform the playback presentation to provide a personalized binaural playback presentation optimized for an individual listener with respect to their hearing profile. This may be achieved by selection or combination of the data present in the metadata streams.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2020Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: DIRK JEROEN BREEBAART, ALEX BRANDMEYER, POPPY ANNE CARRIE CRUM, JOYNER STEELE MCGREGOR, David MCGRATH, Andrea FANELLI, Rhonda J.
