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 28):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors in a computer system executes a method comprising:\n playing, to a listener, sound as binaural sound that externally localizes to the listener at a physical object that is not an electronic device by: determining a location of the physical object that is not an electronic device and that is away from but proximate to the listener; retrieving head related transfer function (HRTFs) for the location of the physical object that is not an electronic device with respect to the listener such that the sound convolved with the HRTFs externally localizes as the binaural sound to the listener and originates to the listener from the physical object that is not an electronic device; processing the sound with the HRTFs to change the sound into the binaural sound and to move the sound to emanate to the listener from the physical object that is not an electronic device; and playing the binaural sound to the listener through electronic earphones or headphones worn by the listener such that the binaural sound externally localizes to the listener as originating from the physical object that is not an electronic device while the physical object is away from but proximate to the listener.
