Looks interesting - anthropometric approach. On Saturday, 4 November 2017, Len Moskowitz wrote: > Augustine Leudar wrote: > > > great sound design but no cigar on the binaural front - thats really not >> going to get solved until a quick and convenient way of measuring HRTFs is >> designed - I h

Re: [Sursound] Individualized HRTFs

I had mine done last week, after a few attempts at shooting a suitable video file (it looks easy to do, but it's not). The resulting 3D model is also not as good as the ones shown in the promotional video, so I will probably try again because I suspect that a better video would help to produce a b

Re: [Sursound] Individualized HRTFs

Let us know how you get on with height I also wonder how much ground and shoulder reflections will count and if subjective visual/cognitive assessments of environment affect localisation in a significant way - interesting to see. If anthropometrics alone are enough. On Sunday, 5 November 2017

[Sursound] Individualized HRTFs (Augustine Leudar)

Looking through IDA informations there seem to be two different ways to perform the individual scans: - "Using their smartphone’s camera, users will be able to scan themselves, gathering sufficient data for IDA Audio and Genelec to accurately 3D model and then create the unique HRTF filter set f

Re: [Sursound] Individualized HRTFs (Augustine Leudar)

Hi Gernot, I haven’t used the toolkit, but I don’t see the reason for HRTF interpolation in a predefined grid - if you generate the spherical harmonic filters for whatever HRTF set you have without interpolation, then all you need in AmbiX is a binaural decoding configuration file with a (N+1)^

Re: [Sursound] Individualized HRTFs (Augustine Leudar)

Does it measure ITDs and ILDs as well or just the Pinna ? I would like to try it anyway - but retain slight skepticism for now.. On 23 November 2017 at 09:50, Politis Archontis wrote: > Hi Gernot, > > I haven’t used the toolkit, but I don’t see the reason for HRTF > interpolation in a predef

Re: [Sursound] Individualized HRTFs (Augustine Leudar)

I had my head & shoulders scanned in the past and my HRTFs produced by IDA have worked very well for me. Unless they have changed their approach, and as far as I know, they do not measure features or try to match anthropometric dimensions to HRTFs in a database (which is still problematic since

Re: [Sursound] Individualized HRTFs (Augustine Leudar)

Hi, I can confirm that we (at IDA) do the acoustic simulation for the torso+head+pinnae mesh, using the exact anatomy of the individual. Pinnae are quite important parts and that's why we show comparison between the actual pinna and reconstructed one in the demo video since we're a bit proud of ho

Re: [Sursound] Individualized HRTFs (Augustine Leudar)

Hi all, Just thought I'd chime in as the author of the mentioned toolkit - I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have and to try to help you get it up and running if needed. Regarding the spherical harmonic HRTF (SH-HRTF) approach descri
