Apple received a technical patent called “Measuring Virtual Listening Environment” from the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) on April 8. This technology aims to improve the listening experience for users by dynamically adjusting the acoustics of the headphones according to different environments.
In the patent description, we see scenarios where users can listen to audio or video content in various environments such as in the car, on the lawn, in the classroom, on the train or in the living room. He hopes to do this by using microphones and spatial audio functions to better process binaural sound and simulate real-life sounds in the eardrum.
As a result, it is stated that an “interactive” audio experience will be offered for users. This means it will create a sense of space and depth by making audio content feel more three-dimensional and engaging. This feature called “Measurement of Virtual Listening Environment” is expected to come on AirPods Pro 3rd generation models.
