Abstract:
There is a need to enable a wireless device to output signals such that the natural instincts of the user may be triggered. The present disclosure provides a solution by enabling a wireless device to determine a time delay and intensity difference associated with an audio output at a subset output devices based at least in part on a perceived spatial placement of at least one signal, a position of the transmitting device, and/or a signal strength associated with the signal. Using the time delay and the intensity difference, the output devices farthest from the transmitting device may output the at least one signal using the time delay and the intensity difference such that the user may detecting differences in the sound wave's time of arrival and intensity at the left ear versus the right ear, and thus, perceive the location of the audio source.
