ABSTRACT:
<p>
A novel spatial audio coding technique that allows individualized 3D audio
presentation is described. It exploits the dichotomous roles of the
low-frequency interaural timing and level difference cues versus the
high-frequency spectral cues in human sound localization. The
high-frequency spectral cues are modified to match the acoustics of the
listener's outer ears, while preserving the original low-frequency
interaural cues. The theory behind the coding technique is described and
sound localization data are shown demonstrating the fidelity of the coding
technique. Issues relating to the frequency resolution of directional
frequency bands are explored.
