Ah, but which dozen or so HRTFs? Somehow, you have to reduce the very large "space" of possible HRTFs to one that is more manageable. A proprietary attempt at this was the system by Sensaura. In their system, you selected an HRTF by specifying only head size, ear size, concha depth, and concha type. The system was marketed at game consoles, but seems to have died.
