Apple's revolutionary patent surround sound technology |
Apple has already received new GPS audio patents that may pave the way for audio applications and give the impression of attending an event.
The new patent is the basis for the patent Apple obtained last month that allows users to hear their voices using special headphone technology to find where people are in the room. This new patent has the same features, but it does have built-in speakers for MacBooks.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple wants to develop a virtual sound system with a special mechanism that gives the user the impression that the sound comes from somewhere other than the speaker. The mechanism used is the parasitic waves the ear receives from the right and left channels of the amplifier.
According to Apple's patent, this effect means that the audio signal contains "room signals", making sound in private space a virtual reality. According to the website, Apple applied for a patent in 2018.
Apple is believed to want to submit new patents to improve visitor numbers. For example, users should feel on the field and hear voices from different directions when watching sports.
