Abstract

This work proposes a scheme for improving binaural reproduction of 5.1 channel surround sound using dynamic rendering with low cost head-tracking module. The head-tracking module consists of a magnetic sensor and an accelerometer. A microcontroller unit is used to calculate the horizontal orientation of the listener's head. The orientation data is transmitted to the PC via the serial port for dynamic binaural synthesis. Psychoacoustic experiment indicates that the scheme eliminates the front-back confusion and in-head-localization and therefore improves the localization performance in the binaural 5.1 channel reproduction.
