Abstract:
A method provides binaural sound to a listener while the listener watches a movie so sounds from the movie localize to a location of a character in the movie. Sound is convolved with head related transfer functions (HRTFs) of the listener, and the convolved sound is provided to the listener who wears a wearable electronic device.

Claim (Index 29):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions that one or more electronic devices execute as a method that provides three-dimensional (3D) sound to a listener watching a feature length movie in virtual reality (VR), the method comprising:\n displaying, with a head mounted display (HMD) worn by the listener, the listener seated in a VR seat in a VR movie theater that plays the feature length movie on a VR movie screen; determining an angle from the VR seat where the listener is seated to the VR movie screen; and processing, based on the angle, sound from the feature length movie so the sound externally localizes to the listener as the 3D sound with a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space at the VR movie screen.
