Abstract

See full text

A system that uses persistent sound source selection to augment audio content. The system comprises one or more microphones coupled to a frame of a headset. The one or more microphones capture sound emitted by sound sources in a local area. The system further comprises an audio controller integrated into the headset. The audio controller receives sound signals corresponding to sounds emitted by sound sources in the local area. The audio controller further updates a ranking of the sound sources based on eye tracking information of the user. The audio controller further selectively applies one or more filters to the one or more of the sound signals according to the ranking to generate augmented audio data. The audio controller further provides the augmented audio data to a speaker assembly for presentation to the user.
