Abstract

3D audio is concerned with the artificial construction and playback of realistic and stable sound images within a Virtual Auditory Space and has been shown to be useful within the context of the human computer interface. This paper examines some of the issues informing current research in 3D audio and personalised, binaural sound, highlighting potential problems and discussing solutions and future directions for this work.
