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 28):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions that one or more electronic devices execute as a method that provides binaural sound to listeners watching a movie in virtual reality (VR), the method comprising:\n displaying, with a head mounted display (HMD), a VR movie theater that includes a plurality of VR seats, a VR movie screen, and VR listeners seated in the plurality of VR seats watching the movie in the VR movie theater; displaying, with the HMD, a character in the movie at a location on the VR movie screen; processing a voice of the character so the voice of the character originates as the binaural sound to the listeners at a sound localization point (SLP) at the location on the VR movie screen where the character is located; and processing the voice of the character so the SLP of the voice of the character moves and follows the location of the character as the character moves to different locations on the VR movie screen.
