Audioscenic Adaptive Audio Beamforming Technology for Automotive Applications

该项目将为商用或私人车辆的驾驶员和乘客提供大大改善的汽车音频体验。汽车车厢是一个困难的声学环境;它们相对较小，并且具有坚硬的反射表面，例如靠近听者耳朵的窗户。Audioscenic技术使用专利自适应音频波束形成技术来克服这些问题，在您的客厅中提供尽可能好的听觉体验。Audioscenic技术将提供这种增强的听觉体验，而无需任何复杂的用户设置或工厂调谐，因为Audioscenic技术会实时自动适应收听者的位置，即时优化收听者头部任何微小运动的音频。该项目将专注于将Audioscenic核心技术（已部署用于桌面音频应用）应用于汽车应用。这将需要开发一个新版本的公司的人工智能驱动的听众跟踪技术，以定位听众的耳朵，并允许头部运动。这也将需要开发新版本的自适应波束形成声学算法，以允许扬声器在车辆中的位置，这将是非常不同的位置在目前的桌面产品。Audioscenic的技术的汽车应用将是创新的，不同于目前市场上的任何其他技术。该技术将允许驾驶员和车辆中的每个乘客收听不同的音频。因此，例如，驾驶员可以收听来自Sat Nav的方向，同时前排乘客收听电话会议，后排座位上的乘客观看电影并收听配乐。此外，音频将是3D的，可以像最好的电影院环绕声或客厅高端家庭音频系统一样好。因此，驾驶员从卫星导航的方向将告诉他们左转，与指示似乎来自转弯的方向。收听电话会议呼叫的乘客可以听到呼叫中的不同参与者，就好像他们在会议室中围绕他们间隔开一样，并且收听电影原声的乘客将听到他们坐在具有全环绕声系统的电影院中听到的音频，其中扬声器位于礼堂周围。

The project will deliver a greatly improved automotive audio experience for drivers and passengers in commercial or private vehicles. Automotive cabins are a difficult acoustic environment; they are relatively small and have hard reflective surfaces, such as windows, close to the listener's ears. The Audioscenic technology uses patented adaptive audio beam forming technology to overcome these issues to deliver a listening experience as good as anything possible in your living room. The Audioscenic technology will deliver this enhanced listening experience without the need for any complicated user set-up or factory tuning as the Audioscenic technology automatically adapts in real-time to the listener's position, instantaneously optimising the audio for any small movements of the listener's head.The project will focus on adapting the Audioscenic core technology, already deployed for desktop audio applications, to automotive applications. This will require the development of a new version of the company's AI powered listener tracking technology, to locate the listener's ears and allow for head movements. It will also require the development of new versions of the company's adaptive beam forming acoustic algorithms to allow for the speaker locations in the vehicle, which will be very different from the locations in the current desktop products.The automotive application of Audioscenic's technology will be innovative and different from any other technologies currently on the market. The technology will allow the driver and each individual passenger in the vehicle to listen to different audio. So, for example, the driver can listen to directions from the Sat Nav at the same time as a passenger in the front listens to a telephone conference call and a passenger in one of the rear seats watches a movie and listens to the soundtrack. Furthermore, the audio will be 3D and can sound as good as the best cinema surround sound or living room high end home audio system. So the driver's directions from the Sat Nav will tell them to turn left, with the instructions appearing to come from the direction of the turn. The passenger listening to a telephone conference call can hear the different participants in the call as if they were spaced around them in a meeting room and the passenger listening to the movie soundtrack will hear the audio they would hear sitting in a cinema with a full surround sound system with speakers located all around the auditorium.
