ABSTRACT
This paper describes what we call Transparent Hearing: the use of microphone equipped headphones for augmented audio. It provides a framework for experiments like real-time audio alteration, multi-modal sensory integration and collaborative listening experiences. We attach high-quality microphones to headphones and send the signal through a computer to these headphones. We have built headphones that stop the music if somebody wants to talk to you, a pseudophone, and collaborative I hear What You Hear headphones that are triggered by eye-contact.

A review of transduction techniques used in acoustics echo cancellation
AMTA'07: Proceedings of the 8th WSEAS international conference on Acoustics & music: theory & applicationsIn this review we shall describe the most typical and conventional transducers used in the acoustic echo cancellation systems and the effect of the transducer characteristics on achieving echo cancellation. We shall also discuss the typical design ...
A Probabilistic Model for Robust Localization Based on a Binaural Auditory Front-End
Although extensive research has been done in the field of machine-based localization, the degrading effect of reverberation and the presence of multiple sources on localization performance has remained a major problem. Motivated by the ability of the ...
Effect of quantization on beamforming in binaural hearing aids
BodyNets '08: Proceedings of the ICST 3rd international conference on Body area networksWe consider a beamforming scheme for binaural hearing aids and analyze the effects of quantization on its performance. A limited bandwidth wireless link is assumed between the binaural hearing aids for communication from one ear to the other ear, where ...
