Abstract: A privacy preserving sensor apparatus is described herein. The privacy preserving sensor apparatus includes a microphone that is configured to output a signal that is indicative of audio in an environment. The privacy preserving sensor apparatus further includes feature extraction circuitry integrated in the apparatus with the microphone, the feature extraction circuitry configured to extract features from the signal output by the microphone that are usable to detect occurrence of an event in the environment, wherein the signal output by the microphone is unable to be reconstructed based solely upon the features.

Abstract: The techniques describe herein use sensor(s) to scan a real-world environment and obtain data associated with geometry of the real-world environment that affects how energy propagates (e.g., locations of spatial objects in a room). The sensor(s) also detect energy (e.g., sound) in the real-world environment, from which a location of a source of the energy can be determined. The techniques combine the geometry data and the energy data to determine how the detected energy propagates from the location of the source through the real-world environment. The techniques can then cause a representation of the propagating energy to be displayed, to a user, as virtual content via a mixed reality device. Accordingly, a user is able to see energy that is otherwise invisible.

Abstract: This document relates to the compressing and/or decompressing of spatial data. A block of spatial data can be compressed by iteratively performing compression iterations on portions of the block and splitting the portions into further portions until compression is completed. The compressed data can include first encoded values indicating whether matches were obtained for comparisons to test values during the compression iterations. The compressed data can also include second encoded values reflecting results of one or more modifications performed on the test values during the compression iterations.

Abstract: The description relates to modeling acoustic effects in scenes with dynamic portals. One implementation includes obtaining a representation of a scene having a plurality of portals and simulating sound travel in the scene using a plurality of probes deployed in the scene. The implementation also includes determining acoustic parameters for initial sound traveling between respective probes based at least on the simulating. The implementation also includes identifying one or more intercepted portals in the scene that are intercepted by a particular initial sound path from a particular source location to a particular listener location, using particular acoustic parameters for the particular source location and the particular listener location.

Abstract: The description relates to rendering directional sound. One implementation includes receiving directional impulse responses corresponding to a scene. The directional impulse responses can correspond to multiple sound source locations and a listener location in the scene. The implementation can also include encoding the directional impulse responses to obtain encoded departure direction parameters for individual sound source locations. The implementation can also include outputting the encoded departure direction parameters, the encoded departure direction parameters providing sound departure directions from the individual sound source locations for rendering of sound.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to determining acoustic properties of audio sources in virtual environments. One example provides a method comprising receiving a query on behalf of a non-player entity regarding an audio source, the query including a position of the non-player entity, and based at least on the position of the non-player entity, determining one or more acoustic properties of sound emitted by the audio source at the position of the non-player entity by accessing a position-indexed data structure comprising one or more values for one or more audio cues, each value influencing a corresponding acoustic property of sound emitted by the audio source at a corresponding position. The method further comprises providing the one or more determined acoustic properties to the application, where the application is configured to control behavior of the non-player entity based at least on the one or more determined acoustic properties.

Abstract: A computing system that facilitates decoding a spherical harmonics (SH) representation of a three-dimensional sound signal to a binaural sound signal is described herein. The computing system generates a binaural sound signal based upon the SH representation, a tapering window function that is selected based on an SH encoding order of the SH representation, and a coloration compensation filter that incorporates the tapering window function. The computing system causes the binaural sound signal to be played over at least two speakers.
