AB  - This paper describes the underlying concepts behind the spatial sound renderer built at the University of Southern California's Immersive Audio Laboratory. In creating this sound rendering system, the authors were faced with three main challenges: first, the rendering of sound using the head-related transfer functions (HRTFs); second, the cancellation of the crosstalk terms; and third, the localization of the listener's ears. To deal with the spatial rendering sound, a two-layer method of modeling the HRTFs was used. The first layer accurately reproduced the ITDs and IADs, and the second layer reproduced the spectral characteristics of the HRTFs. A novel method for generating the required crosstalk cancellation filters as the listener moves was developed based on low-rank modeling. Using Karhunen-Loeve expansion, the authors can interpolate among listener positions from a small number of HRTF measurements. Finally, a head detection algorithm for tracking the location of the listener's ears in real time using a laser scanner is presented.:
