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 21):
A method that provides binaural sound to a listener watching a feature length movie in a virtual reality (VR) movie theater with a head mounted display (HMD), the method comprising:\n displaying, with the HMD worn by the listener, the VR movie theater having VR seats and a VR movie screen where the listener sits in one of the VR seats to watch the feature length movie on the VR movie screen; tracking, with the HMD worn by the listener, head orientations of the listener with respect to the VR movie screen while the listener watches the feature length movie on the VR movie screen; selecting, with the HMD worn by the listener, head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) based on the head orientations of the listener with respect to the VR movie screen while the listener watches the feature length movie on the VR movie screen; and processing, with one or more processors in the HMD worn by the listener, sound of the feature length movie with the HRTFs so the sound externally localizes to the listener as the binaural sound with a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space on the VR movie screen.
