Num Pages: 500 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: TTA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 182 x 261 x 32. Weight in Grams: 1030.
Contains a foreword by Jens Blauert! This book systematically details the basic principles and applications of head-related transfer function (HRTF) and virtual auditory display (VAD), and reviews the latest developments in the field, especially those from the author's own state-of-the-art research group. Head-Related Transfer Function and Virtual Auditory Display covers binaural hearing and the basic principles, experimental measurements, computation, physical characteristics analyses, filter design, and customization of HRTFs. It also details the principles and applications of VADs, including headphone and loudspeaker-based binaural reproduction, virtual reproduction of stereophonic and multi-channel surround sound, binaural room simulation, rendering systems for dynamic and real-time virtual auditory environments, psychoacoustic evaluation and validation of VADs, and a variety of applications of VADs. This guide provides all the necessary knowledge and latest results for researchers, graduate students, and engineers who work in the field of HRTF and VAD.

Reviews for Head-Related Transfer Function and Virtual Auditory Display
I find the book excellent and, as indicated by Professor Jens Blauert (whom I have known since 1986 and whose opinions I value and trust), it is extremely thorough, multifaceted, detailed, mathematically deep, yet clear - I agree. I give it an extremely positive review. The summary concluding each chapter or section is particularly valuable, an excellent idea and feature...I give the book top rank. - Wade R. Bray, HEAD acoustics, Inc.; This book provides a thorough and comprehensive analysis of issues relevant to HRTFs. Many of them have not been covered in such a detailed, clear way in any other book. Professor Xie has devoted a considerable amount of time and effort creating a work that appeals to readers' demands. The international acoustical community will be pleased to have access to its important scientific and technological content, now available with this English translation. -Jens Blauert, Internationally renowned expert in spatial hearing
