To be ironic in email is difficult๐ Input to most of my reflections is based on - I wanted to listen to my foa recordings without having a 8 or 16 loudspeaker setup. - I admittedly have been in the wrong about the kemar head http://acoustics.org/pressroom/httpdocs/155th/fels.htm it do have shoulders but also a built in "fixed head brace". But I blame pictures of too many binaural head microphone's without shoulders. ๐ - so headphones or earplugs is the alternative, but then there is the sound in the head effect. - I found an already made hw and sw solution for a simple and low cost headtracking device in a remote control discussion group. Taking head movements in to consideration in decoding hopefully will fix this.
As many of you know I have received a lot of assistance on and off this list, Thank you. - As long as we are thinking of binaural replay of FOA or higher orders Ambisonics the natural reference line for calculating the sound field of replay is the line through the ear channels. For my own very simple take on decoding I want to add the frequency response changes when the head is moved relative to the shoulders. For testing this, 2 parameter controlled filters in series after the primary head tracking processing should be possible? If the kemar parameters include shoulders "only" the effect of moving the head relative to the shoulders. I am thinking of either assuming the shoulders are always fixed in the original direction OR adding one more sensor fixed on the shoulders to the DIYheadtracker. I have done experiments so I know the position of the shoulders have a really noticeable impact on the sound received by the ears. So I think it would be a very good addition to the the binaural decoding. And of course I believe in tomten ๐ (Swedish for Santa Claus) Best Regards Bo-Erik Sandholm Retired Network Security guy ๐ in Sweden -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
