Binaural Audio-Video Recording Using Short Range Wireless Transmission from Head Worn Devices to Receptor Device System and Method
A method of recording sound in a binaural manner and transmitting the sound to an electronic device using a wearable device is provided. The method includes receiving audio at a left microphone externally positioned proximate to a left ear opening of a user and at a right microphone externally positioned proximate to a right ear opening of the user, both the left microphone and the right microphone worn on a head of the user. The method further includes acquiring video with a camera worn on the head of the user while receiving the audio. The method further includes collecting the audio and the video at the electronic device and synchronizing the audio with the video at the electronic device to generate an audio-video file. The method further includes storing the audio-video file on a machine readable non-transitory storage medium of the electronic device.
1 . A method of recording sound in a binaural manner and transmitting the sound to an electronic device using a wearable device comprising:
receiving audio at a left microphone externally positioned proximate to a left ear opening of a user and at a right microphone externally positioned proximate to a right ear opening of the user, both the left microphone and the right microphone worn on a head of the user;
acquiring video with a camera worn on the head of the user while receiving the audio;
collecting the audio and the video at the electronic device;
synchronizing the audio with the video at the electronic device to generate an audio-video file; and
storing the audio-video file on a machine readable non-transitory storage medium of the electronic device.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the left microphone is a laterally directed microphone of a left earpiece and wherein the right microphone is a laterally directed microphone of a right earpiece.
3 . The method of claim 2 wherein the camera is integrated into eyeglasses.
4 . The method of claim 3 wherein the imaging sensor is integrated into eyeglasses between a left lens and a right lens of the eyeglasses.
5 . The method of claim 4 wherein the electronic device is a mobile phone.
6 . The method of claim 5 wherein the collecting the audio and the video at the electronic device comprises wirelessly receiving an audio stream from the left earpiece, an audio stream from the right earpiece, and a video stream from the eyeglasses.
7 . The method of claim 2 further comprising storing the audio from the left microphone of the left earpiece as a first audio file on the left earpiece.
8 . The method of claim 7 further comprising storing the audio from the right microphone of the right earpiece as a second audio file on the right earpiece.
9 . The method of claim 8 wherein the collecting the audio and the video at the electronic device comprises receiving the first audio file and the second audio file at the electronic device.
