Abstract
Immersive sound is part and parcel of the cinema experience, but most standard headphones cannot accommodate to the nuances of moving pictures. The paper proposes machine learning empowered smart nanomaterial headphones to aid movie based real-time and acoustic adaptation. The system uses nanomaterial transducers that are highly sensitive and adaptable and which are coupled with machine learning models with an adaptive approach so that it personalizes the sound delivery during film playback. This is done by constantly examining the changes in the soundtrack, determining exactly what sounds are being set, dialogue, music, special effects, and putting optimal acoustic output to sustain emotional appeal and discourse clarity. Finally, real time adaptations also take into consideration ambient noise and listener preferences allowing an extremely personalized and cinematic movie experience out of the theater. Experiments show improved speech recognition in conversations, a higher sense of spatial audio technology, better depth coverage and adaptive noise cancellation compared to standard technology. This study focuses on the paradigm shift of nanomaterials and AI that will render a new dimension to movie experience via the latest generation of wearable audio devices.
