Abstract:
A method provides binaural sound to a person through electronic earphones. The binaural sound localizes to a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space that is away from but proximate to the person. When an event occurs, the binaural sound switches or changes to stereo sound, to mono sound, or to altered binaural sound.

Claim (Index 34):
A method executed by one or more electronic devices, the method comprising:\n storing head-related transfer functions (HRTFs); displaying, with a wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a user, a virtual image in an environment; processing, by a digital signal processor (DSP), sound with the HRTFs to generate binaural sound that externally localizes to the user at the virtual image in the environment; and alerting the user that the user is leaving the virtual image in the environment by altering processing of the binaural sound by the DSP and reducing a volume of the binaural sound that localizes to the user at the virtual image.
