Abstract
Conventional stereo audio recordings do not factor in natural ear spacing or “head shadow” of a user's head and ears. The hinged computing devices disclosed herein incorporate a pair of microphones that approximate the user's ear-to-ear spacing and orientation, as well as a physical structure that approximates the user's head shadow. A resulting recording of the computing device's environment may be conditioned and reproduced as a binaural stereo audio feed for selective playback to the user or other users.
