Static binaural images sound inside the head until head movement is tracked

Related

  • Binaural audio without visuals and head tracking stays internalized in the head (similarity 0.83)
  • Dynamic head tracking restores externalized sound localization in binaural reproduction. (similarity 0.80)
  • The brain computes an audiovisual coherence index before deciding to fuse sensory inputs (similarity 0.80)
  • The auditory cortex decodes speech from acoustically jumbled waveforms. (similarity 0.79)
  • No sound produces a deterministic internal neural response, even for the same listener (similarity 0.79)
  • The audiogram only measures sound detection, omitting everything else about auditory perception. (similarity 0.78)

  • Binaural microphones capture exact tympanum signals but depend on one's own head shape
  • Dynamic head tracking restores externalized sound localization in binaural reproduction.
  • Head movement resolves directional ambiguity and explains headphone sounds seeming internal
  • Head movements resolve front-back ambiguity by creating direction-specific binaural cue changes
  • Head-motion-dependent sound changes are required for external sound localization
  • Head-tracking binaural convolution yields convincing externalized spatial audio
  • Headphone sounds are usually lateralized inside the head.
  • Headphones sound 'in the head' because they fail to model head movement cues
  • In-head localization stems from mismatched HRTFs and missing head tracking
  • Lack of head-tracking dynamic cues causes headphone audio to sound internalized
  • Matching acoustical and visual context yields convincing binaural externalization
  • The brain computes an audiovisual coherence index before deciding to fuse sensory inputs
  • VR with synchronized binaural audio can deliver presence for live events
  • Virtual surround works because the listener's head stays fixed while watching a screen
  • Visual-vestibular room matching is required for binaural externalization to persist
