Abstract
An audio processing device may generate a plurality of microphone signals from a plurality of microphones of the audio processing device. The audio processing device may determine a gaze of a user who is wearing a playback device that is separate from the audio processing device, the gaze of the user being determined relative to the audio processing device. The audio processing device may extract speech that correlates to the gaze of the user, from the plurality of microphone signals of the audio processing device by applying the plurality of microphone signals of the audio processing device and the gaze of the user to a machine learning model. The extracted speech may be played to the user through the playback device.
