  • Patent number: 11809777
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a virtual demonstration experience that includes presenting a user interface including an option to select between at least two configurations. The techniques also include initiating a first playback of an audio track for a first configuration, the first playback based on a binaural recording of a first audio system setup rendering the audio track. The techniques also include, in response to selection of a second configuration while the first playback of the audio track is occurring, switching to a second playback of the audio track, the second playback based on a binaural recording of a second audio system setup rendering the audio track, the second audio system setup different from the first audio system setup, wherein switching to the second playback of the audio track continues from where the first playback was prior to switching to the second playback.

  • Patent number: 10923098
    Abstract: Various implementations include approaches for demonstrating wearable audio device capabilities. In particular aspects, a computer-implemented method of demonstrating a feature of a wearable audio device includes: receiving a command to initiate an audio demonstration mode at a demonstration device; initiating binaural playback of a demonstration audio file at wearable playback device being worn by a user and initiating playback of a corresponding demonstration video file at a video interface coupled with the demonstration device; receiving a user command to adjust a demonstration setting at the demonstration device to emulate adjustment of a corresponding setting on the wearable audio device; and adjusting the binaural playback at the wearable playback device based upon the user command.
