Abstract
Mechanisms and methods are provided for improved head tracking for three-dimensional audio rendering. In some embodiments, methods may comprise obtaining sensor outputs from a plurality of sensors at fixed positions on a portion of a seat (e.g., a headrest of the seat). The sensor outputs may be provided to a machine learning model, which may be trained to predict parameters related to a position and/or an orientation of a head of a user of the seat based on those sensor outputs as well as corresponding position and/or orientation parameters from a motion tracking device used during training. The machine learning model may in turn provide a set of translation and quaternion parameter predictions to an audio system for improved rendering of three-dimensional audio signaling for the headrest.
