Hi there,
    It depends what you want to do. If you can limit yourself to fairly
rapidly moving sources, then you can get some way towards this even in FOA
especially if the replay venue is reasonably dry and the acoustic of the
soundscape is somewhat reverberant. With a bit of doppler, the appropriate
variance of direct to reverberant field and patterns of early reflections,
it will be difficult for the brains of the listeners not to perceive the
source as moving past their heads (if that's the path you've set). However,
the slower the rate of travel, the more likely it is to fall apart and
revert to the source appearing to come from no closer than the reverb
radius (usually the surface of the speaker array). If you want to go
further, you need to use NFCHOA, (see Jerome Daniel's work).
