See full text

A method for outputting virtual sound includes detecting an audio signal in an environment at one or more microphones. The method also includes determining, at a processor, a location of a sound source of the audio signal and estimating one or more acoustical characteristics of the environment based on the audio signal. The method further includes inserting a virtual sound into the environment based on the one or more acoustical characteristics. The virtual sound has one or more audio properties of a sound generated from the location of the sound source.
