Summary: <p>Kaushik Sunder, research scientist at Ossic, talks about how humans hear in three dimensions. Topics include the anatomy of the ear, head-related transfer functions (HRTFs), and how they affect the spectral balance of what we hear based on the direction from which a sound comes as well as individual characteristics such as the shape of the outer ear and size of the head. He also discusses binaural recording, and we listen to a clip of such a recording he made in Bali; for more of Kaushik's binaural recordings, go to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/soundmaps_beingthere">https://soundcloud.com/soundmaps_beingthere</a>. Finally, he describes the Ossic X headphones and how they reproduce 3D immersive sound. Also, answers to chatroom questions and more.</p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/scott-wilkinson">Scott Wilkinson</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="http://ossic.com" target="_blank">Kaushik Sunder</a></p> <p>Subscribe to Home Theater Geeks at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/home-theater-geeks">https://twit.tv/shows/home-theater-geeks</a></p><p>Thanks to <a href="https://www.cachefly.com/" target="_blank">CacheFly</a> for the bandwidth for this show.</p>
