    摘要: An audio personalisation method for simulating perception of a vertical displacement of a sound source, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining an input head related transfer function, HRTF, associated with a user; determining an intended vertical displacement for the sound source; selecting at least one frequency region in the input HRTF; and adjusting the amplitude of the selected frequency region(s) to simulate the intended vertical displacement for the sound source. This provides improvements to the generation and/or manipulation of HRTFs to allow adjustment of the perceived location of a sound source.

    摘要: The invention provides techniques for intelligently positioning speech in a virtual environment. Factors such as user preferences, the location of virtual environment audio and/or visual events, avatar location, and others can be taken into account when selecting a suitable location for the speech. The virtual environment can be a game environment, a meeting environment, an augmented reality environment, a virtual reality environment, and the like. The invention can be implemented by an audio processing unit which may be part of a game console.

    摘要: A system for generating a personalised Head-Related Transfer Function, HRTF, for a user, the system comprising: a sound source at a first position; a user device comprising: a left microphone arranged to be at a left ear of the user, when the user device is worn; a right microphone arranged to be at a right ear of the user, when the user device is worn; and a controller configured to: prompt the user to move to series of different second positions; control the sound source to emit a predetermined sound signal when the user is at each second position; obtain a detected sound signal from each of the left and right microphones when the user is at each second position; generate a personalised HRTF based on the predetermined sound signal and the detected sound signal for each microphone and each second position.
