Abstract

We have been accustomed to raising our voices to talk in a group environment, just nodding when we can’t hear someone and dealing with the inaudible speaker at a conference. The photo here showcases an experiment, consisting of human-replica heads which have speakers in their ears, speakers, audio-interface and a smartphone app. The heads can hear what a human would and the experiment here is to measure the latency between the audio processing app and the the actual sound heard by humans (one of the biggest challenges in audio research). The final product would focus on low-level development of an app where we can hear someone just like we would in real life no matter what way the person is facing, ignoring all the different noises and accounting for change in movement using non traditional ways which are performing localization and motion tracking and then applying simulated social cues. We are focusing on an adaptive filter to avoid doing explicit localization. Clear and better listening is a solution to eliminating many confusions in meetings in crowded areas, conferences and can be expanded onto other technologies in the future. We like to call it - Steering the way for better hearing.
