Hello, I'm one of those folks, although I hope I'm doing it well. I've been doing some initial tests for an installation that uses ambisonic recordings done with a tetrahedral mic. The B-format signal is then decoded and played over headphones using virtual speakers panned binaurally. I'm also adding a head-tracking device consisting of an iPod Touch running an app that sends the gyroscope orientation to a Max/MSP patch for altering the pitch and yaw of the B-format signal before it's decoded. The localization is far from perfect and not as accurate as with pure binaural recordings but I'm very happy with the results. Also I have yet to further calibrate the mic which will very likely improve the image.
