Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide for sound stage reversal for enclosed environments. For example, various occupants within an enclosed environment and listening to the same spatially-oriented audio content may be facing in various different respective directions. Speakers within the enclosed environment may be operated to generate the spatially-oriented audio content for the various occupants, with various respective sound stage orientations corresponding to the various different respective directions in which the occupants face.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide user tracking headrest audio control. For example, a seat may have a headrest and one or more speakers mounted to the headrest for providing audio output to an occupant of the seat. Because the head of the occupant may be disposed in the near field of the headrest speakers when the occupant is seated in the seat, movements of the occupant's head and/or ears may affect the acoustic experience of the occupant. Aspects of the subject technology provide for modifications to audio output(s) from one or more speaker(s) mounted in a headrest, based on tracking of the location of the occupant's head and/or ears relative to the location(s) of the speaker(s).
