Abstract:
An electronic device identifies a location of a physical object that is away from a listener. The electronic device convolves sound so the sound externally localizes as binaural sound to the physical object. The sound plays to the listener through earphones so the listener hears the sound as emanating from the physical object.

Claim (Index 35):
A method comprising:\n providing, with one or more electronic devices in a computer system, a sound to a listener so the sound localizes as binaural sound to a physical object that is not an electronic device and that is at least one meter away from the listener by: identifying, by the one or more electronic devices in the computer system, a location of the physical object that is not an electronic device and that is at least one meter away from the listener; selecting, by the one or more electronic devices in the computer system, head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) that correspond to the location of the physical object that is not an electronic device with respect to the listener; processing, by the one or more electronic devices in the computer system, the sound with the HRTFs to move the sound to the location of the physical object that is not an electronic device and to change the sound into the binaural sound such that the binaural sound externally localizes to the listener at a sound localization point (SLP) that is located on the physical object that is not an electronic device while the physical object that is not an electronic device is at least the one meter away from the listener; and playing, by a wearable electronic device of the one or more electronic devices in the computer system, the binaural sound to the listener so the binaural externally localizes to the listener at the SLP that is located at the physical object that is not an electronic device while the physical object that is not an electronic device is at least the one meter away from the listener.
