Patent attributes
An electronic inertial measurement unit (IMU) coupled to headtracking headphones. The IMU may track any movement of the user's head, such as the pitch, yaw, roll angles, acceleration, and elevation and record this information as position data. The position data may be transmitted to tools that use routing schemes contained within authoring applications to decode user orientation and create high quality interactive multichannel biphonic audio without any additional processing or filtering. If horizontal, vertical, and tilt orientating audio is required, the MI emitters may be moved around (giving them x,y,z coordinates) within a cube representing a three dimensional space to generate “M1 Cube Format” audio. For horizontal orienting audio, fewer mono bus outputs may be used to generate “M1 Cube Format” audio.
