Abstract: An opt-in indication is received that a wearer of a headworn device joins a conversation channel having a first target audio signal that contains an isolated voice of a first talker. In response, the first target audio signal is spatially rendered into a left speaker driver signal and a right speaker driver signal that are to drive a left speaker and a right speaker, respectively, of a first audio system. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A method for routing audio content through an electronic device that is to be worn by a user. The method obtains a communication and determines whether the communication is private. In response to determining that the communication is private, the method drives a bone conduction transducer of the electronic device with an audio signal associated with the communication. In response to determining that the communication is not private, however, the method drives a speaker of the electronic device with the audio signal.

Abstract: An audio component for a head-mounted display system includes a first port through which sound is projected to a user during operation in a first audio mode, a second port through which sound is projected to a user during operation in a second audio mode, an insulator positioned along an acoustic path between the first port and the second port, wherein the insulator is configured to inhibit sound projection along the acoustic path by isolating the first port from the second port, and an earpiece configured to engage the audio component to an ear of the a user, to deliver sound from the audio component to the user, and to reduce ambient noise from a surrounding environment during operation of the audio component in the second audio mode.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for active cancellation of noise in motion sensor signals. In some embodiments, a method comprises: obtaining a motion sensor signal from a motion sensor; obtaining a reference signal indicative of parasitic vibration from a vibration source mechanically coupled to the motion sensor; generating, using an adaptive noise canceller, an estimate of the parasitic vibration; and using the estimated parasitic vibration to cancel the parasitic vibration from the motion sensor signal.

Abstract: A first device obtains, from the array, several audio signals and processes the audio signals to produce a speech signal and one or more ambient signals. The first device processes the ambient signals to produce a sound-object sonic descriptor that has metadata describing a sound object within an acoustic environment. The first device transmits, over a communication data link, the speech signal and the descriptor to a second electronic device that is configured to spatially reproduce the sound object using the descriptor mixed with the speech signal, to produce several mixed signals to drive several speakers.
