Apple will use the iPhone's camera to improve spatial audio

Apple made a big announcement on Monday that flew under the radar. It will soon be possible to create a 3D model of your own ear using your iPhone's TrueDepth camera system (selfie camera + infrared emitter) in iOS 16. A personal Head-Related Transfer Function is generated based on this 3D model and used to better personalize spatial audio processing and take immersive audio to the next level.

E-learning is a burden for the deaf and hard of hearing

Research shows the deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) population may require higher levels of multi-focal attention allocation in learning. This study investigates how online learning differently affects DHH participants, compared to hearing participants, Portuguese Sign Language (PSL) users, and non-users. In particular, it shows an association between post-task fatigue rates and lower performance scores for the DHH group.
