  • Publication number: 20210306751
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for processing speech signals in mixed reality applications. A method may include receiving an audio signal; determining, via first processors, whether the audio signal comprises a voice onset event; in accordance with a determination that the audio signal comprises the voice onset event: waking a second one or more processors; determining, via the second processors, that the audio signal comprises a predetermined trigger signal; in accordance with a determination that the audio signal comprises the predetermined trigger signal: waking third processors; performing, via the third processors, automatic speech recognition based on the audio signal; and in accordance with a determination that the audio signal does not comprise the predetermined trigger signal: forgoing waking the third processors; and in accordance with a determination that the audio signal does not comprise the voice onset event: forgoing waking the second processors.

  • Publication number: 20210044915
    Abstract: A dual source spatialized audio system includes a general audio system and a personal audio system. The general system includes a general audio processor and general speakers to produce general sound. The personal system includes a frame to be worn on a head of a user and a plurality of personal speakers attached to the frame. The personal system also includes a head pose sensor to collect head pose data of the user. The personal system further includes a head pose processor to determine a head pose of the user from the head pose data. Moreover, the personal system includes a personal audio processor to generate personal audio data based on the head pose of the user. The personal speakers generate personal sound corresponding to the personal audio data. The personal processor receives timing information/metadata from the general audio processor to synchronize the personal sound with the general sound.
