Patent number: 7533346Abstract: An interactive spatialized audiovisual system links a plurality of remote used terminals. The system comprises a networked computer having an associated user database including user status information. Input means are provided at the computer for receiving a plurality of audio streams and associated locating data from the remote user terminals for, virtually locating the users relative to one another within a virtual user environment such as a chat room environment Selection means are provided for enabling selection of at least the first group of the audio streams in a first selection process based on status information in the user database. Output means output the selected group of audio streams and associated locating data for spatialization of the audio streams relative to a first listener-based audio reference frame which is substantially coherent with visual representations of the audio sources defined by the locating data at the first user terminal.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2003Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: David S. McGrath, Daniel Heckenberg, Stephen James Bennett

Patent number: 7116789Abstract: A system for providing a listener with an augmented audio reality in a geographical environment said system comprising a position locating system for determining a current position and orientation of a listener in said geographical environment; an audio track creation system for creating an audio track having a predetermined spatialization component dependent on an apparent location of an apparent source associated with said audio track in said geographical environment; an audio track rendering system adapted to render an audio signal based on said audio track to a series of speakers surrounding said listener such that said listener experiences an apparent preservation of said spatialization component; and an audio track playback system interconnected to said position locating system and said audio track creation system and adapted to forward a predetermined audio track to said audio rendering system for rendering depending on said current position and orientation of said listener in said geographical environType: GrantFiled: July 26, 2002Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Leonard Layton, David Stanley McGrath, Nigel Lloyd William Heyler, Stephen James Bennett, Richard James Cartwright, Geoffrey Alexander Drane

Patent number: 7068290Abstract: An authoring system and authoring method to assigning a real geo-spatial position to sensory-effect data representing virtual sensations, including a virtual sound sensation. The system includes an author interface for displaying a representation of a real geo-space, means for accepting the sensory-effect data, and means for an author to assign the virtual sensory effect data to a location within the displayed representation corresponding to a real location within the geo-space, such that a user has the sensation of the virtual sound coming from the location assigned for the sensory-effect data.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2001Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Lake Technology LimitedInventors: Stephen James Bennett, Richard James Cartwright, Nigel Lloyd William Helyer, Roger David Butler

Publication number: 20040051718Abstract: An authoring system for assigning geo-spatial position to sensory-effect data is disclosed. The sensory-effect data can include one or more of the group of alpha numeric data, image data, sound data, smell data, temperature data, humidity data, wind data, pressure date and light data. The alphanumeric data may comprise computer readable code for, in use, instructing the system to control presentation of the sound, image, smell, humidity, wind, pressure, or light data to an exposee. The authoring system may comprise a user interface on which the geo-space is represented, the interface being arranged in a manner such as to enable, in use, a user to assign the geo-spatial position to the data by placing and manipulating markers on the interface. The authoring system preferably comprises means for defining relationships between markers.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2003Publication date: March 18, 2004Inventors: Stephen James Bennett, Richard James Cartwright, Nigel Lloyd Helyer, Roger David Butler
