Head Related Transfer Functions

(HRTFs) Parameters which describe a unique set of acoustic filters created by sound reflections from an individual’s head, shoulders, and pinnae which modify the sound waves entering the ear canal. These unique characteristics are learned to allow the brain to locate sound sources in the 3D space around the listener. Perceiving accurate sound placement from a binaural audio source relies very heavily on the material being processed accurately with an individual’s personal HRTFs.
