Directional instructions in an hybrid reality system

This invention describes a system that helps a person move to a specific spot in a real-world space. It does this by tracking their head and then providing cues to guide them. While the general idea includes visual, auditory, and tactile cues, the specific claims focus on using sounds delivered through speakers on a head-mounted display, with the sound changing as the person moves their head to guide them.

Why it matters: Consumer head-mounted displays have become significantly more powerful and ubiquitous since 2018, integrating advanced head, hand, and gaze tracking with sophisticated spatial audio capabilities. This makes the required real-time 3D processing and audio rendering much more feasible and accessible.
