Abstract
Navigational cues in augmented reality often rely on visual indicators, which can result in a less immersive user experience. This disclosure presents a method for providing spatialized audio navigation through augmented reality glasses or similar devices. The technology simulates three-dimensional audio, creating the effect of sound originating from specific intermediate or final destinations. By modulating independent speaker responses and simulating the acoustics of a sound’s path, navigational instructions are perceived as coming from a precise location in the user’s environment. This approach enhances augmented reality navigation by creating a more intuitive and immersive audiovisual experience, moving beyond purely visual cues.
