Apple granted patent for virtual speakers anywhere in room

San Francisco: Apple has been granted a new patent for virtual speakers in MacBook that can simulate sounds from anywhere in the room, making the users feel as if sound is coming from a different place than loudspeakers.

According to a report in 9to5Mac, it’s a virtual acoustic system that works by using “crosstalk cancelling” technology which is a similar technique to noise-cancellation found in Apple AirPods Pro.

Crosstalk refers to the overlapping sound waves that the ears receive from the left and right channels of a speaker.
