Abstract
To make accurate localization judgments in the near-field region, the auditory
system must account for changes in the localization cues due to variations in
distance. Almost no information is available to evaluate how well humans can
localize in the near field, and we know of no published data measuring the
head-related transfer function in the near-field with either human subjects or
an anthropomorphic mannequin. Current research efforts are addressing both
of these deficiencies. A better understanding of human localization
performance in the near-field should enable the development of effective
virtual audio displays for near-field sources.
