Abstract :
Existing loudspeaker 3-D audio systems suffer from a fixed listening location. This paper proposes using a head tracker to steer the equalization zone to the position of the tracked listener. Sound localization experiments show that this strategy greatly improves localization when the listener is displaced from the ideal listening location, and also enables dynamic localization cues
