A  well-known problem with these systems is the requirement that the  listener be properly positioned for the 3-D illusion to function  correctly. This book proposes using the tracked position of the  listener's head to optimize the acoustical presentation, thus  producing a much more realistic illusion over a larger listening area  than existing loudspeaker 3-D audio systems. Head-tracking can be  accomplished by applying pattern recognition techniques to images  obtained from a video camera. Thus, an immersive audio environment can  be created without donning headphones or other equipment. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003e3-D Audio Using Loudspeakers\u003c\/em\u003e discusses the theory,  implementation, and testing of a head-tracked loudspeaker 3-D audio  system. Crosstalk cancellers that can be steered to the location of a  tracked listener are described. The objective performance of these  systems has been evaluated using simulations and acoustical  measurements made at the ears of human subjects. Many sound  localization experiments were also conducted; the results show that  head-tracking both significantly improves localization when the  listener is displaced from the ideal listening location, and also  enables dynamic localization cues. Much of the theory and experimental  results presented are also applicable to loudspeaker 3-D audio systems  in general, not just head-tracked ones. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003e3-D Audio Using Loudspeakers\u003c\/em\u003e is of interest to researchers  studying virtual acoustic displays, and to engineers developing the  same. The book serves as a valuable reference to anyone working in  this field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792381563\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 154.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578400661644,"sku":"9780792381563","price":152.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792381563","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
