Head tracking is meant to prevent the image from rotating when one moves their head. Normally this type of head tracker only works for the frontal stage angle. But,indeed, you can also use a head postion detector to change the ILD, ITD, and pinna pattern of the signal being listened to as in virtual reality training systems to produce any sound source angle but I don't think this is the topic we are addressing here. If you are listening to a two channel binaural recording via earphones that interfere with the pinna it is unlikely that you will avoid both internalization and poor localization to the sides or rear. The point I am trying to make however, is that the goal of 360 localization is much easier to attain via loudspeakers, be they Ambisonic, Ambiophonic, or WFS with the advantage that 180 degree Ambiophonics is compatible with ordinary two channel media and most microphone arrangements.

Add head tracking and it's possible. Some folks have been doing that well for quite some time.
