In contrast, using a lower number of acoustic transducers 420 may decrease the computing power required by an associated controller 450 to process the collected audio information. In addition, the position of each acoustic transducer 420 of the microphone array may vary. For example, the position of an acoustic transducer 420 may include a defined position on the user, a defined coordinate on frame 410, an orientation associated with each acoustic transducer 420, or some combination thereof.

  • Pairing external devices such as neckband 405
  • augmented-reality eyewear devices may enable the eyewear devices to achieve the form factor of a pair of glasses while still providing sufficient battery and computation power for expanded capabilities.
  • Some or all of the battery power, computational resources, and/or additional features of augmented-reality system 400 may be provided by a paired device or shared between a paired device and an eyewear device, thus reducing the weight, heat profile, and form factor of the eyewear device overall while still retaining desired functionality.
  • neckband 405 may allow components that would otherwise be included on an eyewear device to be included in neckband 405 since users may tolerate a heavier weight load on their shoulders than they would tolerate on their heads.
  • Neckband 405 may also have a larger surface area over which to diffuse and disperse heat to the ambient environment. Thus, neckband 405 may allow for greater battery and computation capacity than might otherwise have been possible on a standalone eyewear device. Since weight carried in neckband 405 may be less invasive to a user than weight carried in eyewear device 402, a user may tolerate wearing a lighter eyewear device and carrying or wearing the paired device for greater lengths of time than a user would tolerate wearing a heavy standalone eyewear device, thereby enabling users to more fully incorporate artificial-reality environments into their day-to-day activities.
  • Neckband 405 may be communicatively coupled with eyewear device 402 and/or to other devices. These other devices may provide certain functions (e.g., tracking, localizing, depth mapping, processing, storage, etc.) to augmented-reality system 400.

  • increasing the distance between acoustic transducers 420 of the microphone array may improve the accuracy of beamforming performed via the microphone array.
