Head mounted phased focused speakers

摘要

A device having first means for directing a sound wave to a first side of a target head location; a first means for encircling the first directing means, being configured to phase focus the sound wave to a proximate center point of a left ear of the listener; a second means for directing the sound wave to a second side of the target head location of the listener; a second means for encircling the second directing means, being configured to phase focus the sound wave to a proximate center point of a right ear of the listener; and means for encapsulating the first and second encircling means, said encapsulating means being configured to proximately surround the target head location of the listener.

1. A device comprising:
a first speaker ring being comprised of at least a first generally parabolic shaped speaker, wherein said first speaker ring is configured to substantially encircle the first generally parabolic shaped speaker and being further configured to be positioned to a location proximal to where a first side of a head of a listener would be located during normal use of said device, wherein said first generally parabolic shaped speaker is configured to be operable to at least phase focus sound waves to a proximate center point of a location proximal to where a left ear of the listener would be located during normal use of said device, the first generally parabolic shaped speaker comprising:
a first driver being disposed proximate to a location proximal to where a left ear of the listener would be located during normal use of said device, said first driver comprises at least a first conical electrostatic band speaker; a second speaker ring comprise of at least a second generally parabolic shaped speaker, wherein the second speaker ring being configured to encircle the second generally parabolic shaped speaker and being further configured to be positioned on a second side of the location proximal to where a head of a listener would be located during normal use of said device, wherein the second generally parabolic shaped speaker being configured to be operable to at least phase focus the sound waves to a proximate center point of a location proximal to where a right ear of the listener would be located during normal use of said device, the second generally parabolic shaped speaker comprising:
a second driver disposed proximate to a location proximal to where a right ear of the listener would be located during normal use of said device, said first driver comprising at least a second conical electrostatic band speaker; and a shell, said shell being configured to substantially encapsulate the first and second speaker rings and to generally surround the location proximal to where the head of the listener would be located during normal use of said device, the shell being further configured to be operable to at least create a proximate spherical sound field around a location proximal to where the listener's head would be located during normal use of said device, said shell comprising:
an inner surface having a sound wave absorbing material being configured to be operable to at least absorb scattered sound waves and to simulate a semi-anechoic chamber.
