Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving audio data corresponding to sound detected by a wearable computing system;
analyzing the audio data to determine (i) a direction from the wearable computing system of a source of the sound and (ii) an intensity level of the sound; and
causing the wearable computing system to display one or more indications that indicate (i) the direction of the source of the sound and (ii) the intensity level of the sound, wherein the intensity level of the sound varies with time, and wherein the one or more indications comprise an indication associated with the intensity level that varies in phase with the intensity level.

Abstract
Example methods and systems for displaying one or more indications that indicate (i) the direction of a source of sound and (ii) the intensity level of the sound are disclosed. A method may involve receiving audio data corresponding to sound detected by a wearable computing system. Further, the method may involve analyzing the audio data to determine both (i) a direction from the wearable computing system of a source of the sound and (ii) an intensity level of the sound. Still further, the method may involve causing the wearable computing system to display one or more indications that indicate (i) the direction of the source of the sound and (ii) the intensity level of the sound.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions for receiving audio data corresponding to sound detected by a wearable computing system; instructions for analyzing the audio data to determine (i) a direction from the wearable computing system of a source of the sound and (ii) an intensity level of the sound; instructions for causing the wearable computing system to display one or more indications that indicate (i) the direction of the source of the sound and (ii) the intensity level of the sound, wherein the intensity level of the sound varies with time, and wherein the one or more indications comprise an indication associated with the intensity level that varies in phase with the intensity level. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A wearable computing system comprising:
-
a head-mounted display, wherein the head-mounted display is configured to display computer-generated information and allow visual perception of a real-world environment; and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to receive audio data corresponding to sound detected by a wearable computing system and to analyze the audio data to determine (i) a direction from the wearable computing system of a source of the sound and (ii) an intensity level of the sound; and a display system, wherein the display system is configured to display one or more indications that indicate (i) the direction of the source of the sound and (ii) the intensity level of the sound, wherein the intensity level of the sound varies with time, and wherein the one or more indications comprise an indication associated with the intensity level that varies in phase with the intensity level. - View Dependent Claims (20)
