阅读说明：本技术 用于双耳录音的铰接式计算设备 (Articulating computing device for binaural recording ) 是由 A·埃尔南德斯桑蒂斯特班 J·B·G·赫斯基思 于 2018-04-21 设计创作，主要内容包括：传统的立体声音频录音不会考虑自然耳间距或用户的头部和耳朵的“头部阴影”。本文公开的铰接式计算设备并入近似用户的耳到耳的间距和取向的一对话筒以及近似用户的头部阴影的物理结构。计算设备的环境的所得的录音可被调节并被再现成双耳立体声音频馈送以便选择性地回放给用户或其他用户。(Conventional stereo audio recordings do not take into account natural ear spacing or "head shadowing" of the user's head and ears. The articulated computing device disclosed herein incorporates a pair of microphones that approximate the ear-to-ear spacing and orientation of a user and a physical structure that approximates the head shading of the user. The resulting recording of the environment of the computing device may be conditioned and reproduced into a binaural audio feed for selective playback to the user or other users.)

1. A binaural computing device, comprising:

a first device component comprising a first microphone;

a second device component comprising a second microphone, wherein the second device component is pivotally connected to the first device component, and wherein the first microphone and the second microphone are each located in the binaural computing device at a location remote from the pivotal connection; and

a binaural processing module to receive audio inputs from the first microphone and the second microphone and generate a binaural audio stream.

2. A binaural computing device as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

an angular orientation sensor that detects an angle between the first device component and the second device component to generate the binaural audio stream.

3. A binaural computing device as recited in claim 2, further comprising:

a hinge pivotally connecting the first device component to the second device component, wherein the angular orientation sensor detects an angular position of the hinge.

4. A binaural computing device as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

a camera to capture one or more facial features to customize the binaural audio stream for a user.

5. A binaural computing device as recited in claim 1, wherein the first microphone and the second microphone both face forward when the binaural computing device is oriented in a binaural audio recording position.

6. A binaural computing device as recited in claim 1, wherein the first microphone and the second microphone are both high fidelity omnidirectional microphones.

7. A binaural computing device as recited in claim 1, wherein one or both of the first device component and the second device component includes a touch screen.

8. A method of creating a binaural recording using a computing device, comprising:

pivoting a first device assembly relative to a second device assembly to form an angle between the first device assembly and the second device assembly;

recording audio streams from a first microphone within the first device component and a second microphone within the second device component onto the computing device; and

the recorded audio stream is adjusted to generate a binaural audio stream.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

prior to recording the audio stream, orienting the computing device such that a hinge pivotally connecting the first device component to the second device component points toward an audio source, and both the first device component and the second device component are angled away from the audio source.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein orienting the computing device places the first device component at 65 to 180 degrees relative to the second device component.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

outputting the adjusted binaural audio stream to a playback device.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the playback device is a set of headphones.

13. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

detecting an angle between the first device component and the second device component, wherein adjusting the recorded audio stream comprises adjusting the binaural audio stream based on the detected angle.

14. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

capturing one or more user facial features via a camera on the computing device, wherein adjusting the recorded audio stream comprises adjusting the binaural audio stream based on the captured user facial features.

15. A computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

recording audio streams from a first microphone within a first device component and a second microphone within a second device component onto a binaural computing device, the first device component pivotally connected to the second device component; and

adjusting the recorded audio stream to generate a binaural audio stream.
