Abstract

Embodiments include an electronic control unit comprising an audio input device for receiving an audio stream from an external audio source, the audio stream being split between an audio path and a haptic path; a wireless transceiver in the haptic path for transmitting the audio stream to at least one wearable haptic device using short-range wireless communication; and a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to calculate an amount of latency associated with transmission of the audio stream to the wearable haptic device(s), and partition the audio stream into a plurality of audiopackets including a time-to-play based on the calculated latency. The control unit further includes a buffer in the audio path for inserting a time delay into the audio stream based on the calculatedlatency, and an audio output device in the audio path for outputting the time-delayed audio stream to an external audio listening device.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 394707 filed on September 14, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Consumers of multimedia entertainment are looking for ways to increase multi-sensory immersion. Existing systems for providing audio immersion include the use of subwoofers to feel the low tone of music and improve the audio of movies or video games, and the use of surround sound to immerse users in a more interesting experience. However, with the exception of audio content, these methods do not provide multi-sensory stimulation in virtual reality or other audiovisual scenarios. In addition, for users who like to experience multimedia entertainment "on the go", the subwoofer is particularly inconvenient, because the physical size of the subwoofer hinders portability. At the same time, existing portable devices (such as conventiona...
