HTG 354: Going Out of Your Head - Headphone virtualization.




Home Theater Geeks (Audio) show

Summary: <p>Darin Fong talks about his headphone-virtualization software called Out of Your Head. Topics include a quick summary of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs), how Darin wanted to simulate the effect of listening to a speaker-based stereo system in headphones, how he measures HRTFs in different rooms with different speakers to create presets, and how the software accepts the audio from a media player and applies the selected preset to create a binaural-audio file. We also play a few examples (be sure to listen on headphones to hear the effect!) and discuss various applications and plans for future developments. Plus 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://fongaudio.com" target="_blank">Darin Fong</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>
