摘要： A method selects a location where to localize binaural sound to a listener. Sounds are assigned to different zones or different sound localization points (SLPs). The sounds are convolved with sound localization information so the sounds externally localize as binaural sound away from the listener and into the assigned zone or to the assigned SLP.

摘要： An electronic device includes a display that displays a video with sound to a user. One or more processors process a first segment or channel of the sound with first HRTFs so the first segment or channel externally localizes in front of and to a right of a head of the user and process a second segment or channel of the sound with second HRTFs so the second segment or channel externally localizes in front of and to a left of the head of the user.

摘要： A method improves performance of a computer that provides binaural sound to a listener. A memory stores coordinate locations that follow a path of how the head of the listener moves. This path is retrieved in anticipation of subsequent head movements of the listener to improve computer performance of executing binaural sound.

摘要： An electronic device executes a method that displays a location to a called party where a voice of a calling party will localize as binaural sound in a telephone call. The method displays an image representing the called party and an image representing the calling party with respect to each other so the called party can visually determine where the voice of the calling party will externally localize as the binaural sound.

摘要： A method captures binaural sound of a voice of a first user with microphones located at left and rights ears of a dummy head. The dummy head transmits the voice of the first user to a portable electronic device with or near the first user. This portable electronic device transmits the binaural sound over one or more networks to another electronic device being used by a second user to communicate with the first user during the electronic call.

摘要： A smartphone displays a real-time video of an environment of a first user. The smartphone receives a telephone call from a second user and displays, on the real-time video before the first user answers the telephone call, a virtual image at a location in the environment of the first user where a voice of the second user will externally localize in empty space outside the head of the first user in the environment when the first user answers the telephone call.

摘要： A smartphone analyzes prior telephone calls and determines a familiar sound localization point (SLP). The smartphone processes a voice in a telephone call so the voice externally localizes to a user of the smartphone as binaural sound from the familiar SLP.

摘要： A method provides binaural sound to a person through electronic earphones. The binaural sound localizes to a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space that is away from but proximate to the person. When an event occurs, the binaural sound switches or changes to stereo sound, to mono sound, or to altered binaural sound.

摘要： Headphones include one or more microphones that capture ambient sound in an environment of a user. The headphones play music from a smartphone and the ambient sound through speakers. An amplitude of the ambient sound playing through the speakers is adjusted in response to determining an atmospheric pressure in the environment or movement of the smartphone with the user.

摘要： During an electronic call between two individuals, a sound localization point simulates a location in empty space from where an origin of a voice of one individual occurs for the other individual.
