Abstract: A wearable computing device can receive, via at least one input transducer, a first audio signal associated with ambient sound from an environment of the device. The device can then process the first audio signal so as to determine a second audio signal that is out of phase with the first audio signal and effective to substantially cancel at least a portion of the first audio signal. The device may then generate a noise-cancelling audio signal based on the second audio signal, based on a third audio signal, and based on one or more wearer-specific parameters, where the third audio signal is representative of a sound to be provided by the device. The device may then cause a bone conduction transducer (BCT) to vibrate so as to provide to an ear a noise-cancelling sound effective to substantially cancel at least a portion of the ambient sound.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are described herein related to implementing stereo audio using bone conduction transducers (BCTs). A wearable computing device can receive audio signals effective to cause the wearable computing device to provide stereo sound to a first ear and a second ear opposite the first ear. The wearable computing device can also apply a transform to the audio signals so as to determine other audio signals that are out of phase with the audio signals and effective to substantially cancel crosstalk signals resulting from the audio signals, where the transform may be based on one or more wearer-specific parameters. The wearable computing device may then cause two BCTs to vibrate substantially simultaneous to each other so as to provide the stereo sound to the first ear and the second ear and substantially cancel the crosstalk signals.
