Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) sound gaming application can include an ultrasonic sound system, one or more gamers, a gaming console and a throat microphone set. The ultrasonic sound system can include a digital signal processing (DSP) that can adjust the phase, delay, reverb, echo, gain, magnitude or other audio signal component of an audio signal or audio signal components received from the gaming console; an amplifier which can amplify the processed audio signal; and a pair of emitters which can emit ultrasonic signals to each of the gamer's ears to produce a 3D sound effect. The throat microphone set can include a throat microphone which can integrate a low pass filter to attenuate any picked up, ultrasonic carrier frequency signals from the emitted ultrasonic waves. In addition, the throat microphone set can also include an ear speaker piece with one or more apertures for allowing sound produced by ultrasonic waves to enter the gamer's ear canal.
