    摘要: A head-worn audio system includes a first support frame; a first contact element coupled to the first support frame and configured to contact a first portion of a head of a user; a first actuator coupled to the first support frame and the first contact element; and a processor that is communicatively coupled to the first actuator and is configured to: generate a first actuator signal based on first information that is to be conveyed to the user; and transmit the first actuator signal to the first actuator, wherein the first actuator generates a first force on the first contact element based on the first actuator signal, the first force corresponding to the information to be conveyed to the user.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth a system comprising a speaker array, one or more sensors configured to produce sensor data, and a processor coupled to the one or more sensors and the speaker array. The processor is configured to determine, based on the sensor data, for each speaker included in the speaker array, a position of the speaker relative to at least one of a target location, and one or more other speakers included in the speaker array, determine, based on the positions of the speakers included in the speaker array, a first set of directional sound components. The processor is further configured to generate a first set of speaker signals for the speaker array based on the first set of directional sound components, where, when outputted by the speaker array, the first set of speaker signals produces an acoustic field at the target location.

    摘要: A drone speaker system is configured to deploy a fleet of drone speaker units. Each drone speaker unit includes a speaker configured to broadcast acoustic signals and a flight system configured to aerially transport a speaker. The drone speaker system initially generates a spatial map of a location where the drone speaker units are to be deployed. The drone speaker system then identifies suitable perching locations for the drone speaker units. Then, the drone speaker system deploys the fleet of drone speaker units to those perching locations to place one or more speakers. Once positioned in this manner, the speakers can generate a sound field. The drone speaker units may also reconfigure the speakers to achieve different sound fields having varying characteristics.
