Abstract: In a device or method for rendering a sound program for headphones, a location is received for placing the sound program with respect to first and second ear pieces. If the location is between the first ear piece and the second ear piece, the sound program is filtered to produce low-frequency and high-frequency portions. The high-frequency portion is panned according to the location to produce first and second high-frequency signals. The low-frequency portion and the first high-frequency signal are combined to produce a first headphone driver signal to drive the first ear piece. A second headphone driver signal is similarly produced. The sound program may be a stereo sound program. The device or method may also provide for a location that is between the first ear piece and a near-field boundary. Other aspects are also described.

Abstract: An audio processing system has one or more processors that process an audio signal on three paths. The first path has a direct gain and a direct virtual source algorithm operating on the audio signal. The second path has a plurality of early reflection gains operating on the audio signal. Operation with the early reflection gains produces a plurality of early reflections. Each of the early reflection signals may be subjected to a delay and may be processed according to an early reflections virtual source algorithm. The third path has a reverb gain and binaural reverb filters operating on the audio signal. The third path also has a crosstalk canceler. A mixer combines left and right channel outputs of each of the first path, second path and third path. The mixer produces a left loudspeaker signal and a right loudspeaker signal.

Abstract: A presence of a person within a camera field of view of an electronic device is determined by digitally processing images captured by a camera. A position of a body member of the person with respect to the electronic device is also computed by digitally processing the camera captured images. A crosstalk cancellation (XTC) signal is adjusted based on the computed position of the body member. Adjusting the XTC signal includes adjusting a first predetermined model location, which includes a location at which a user should be in order to achieve a desired virtual acoustics effect. Processing program audio based on the adjusted XTC signal, to generate audio signals that drive speakers. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
