Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving a signal for each channel of an audio transducer array on a wearable device. The method may also include calculating a beamformed signal for each beam direction of a set of beamforming filters for the wearable device. Additionally, the method may include classifying a first beamformed signal from the calculated beamformed signals into a first class of sound and a second beamformed signal from the calculated beamformed signals into a second class of sound. The method may also include adjusting, based on the classifying, a gain of the first beamformed signal relative to the second beamformed signal. Furthermore, the method may include converting the beamformed signals into spatialized binaural audio based on a position of a user. Finally, the method may include transmitting the spatialized binaural audio to a playback device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
