There's a questionable assumption in the HRTF article, namely that the transfer function is the same (or similar) for different people in different environments

There's a questionable assumption in the HRTF article, namely that the transfer function is the same (or similar) for different people in different environments. I don't think the same HRTF would sound convincing indoors and outdoors, even. Let alone differences in ear shapes and sizes.
- PaulHoule 5y agoThat assumption is baked into almost all the implementations, except for some which take measurements of your ears. To be fair I haven't tried one of those systems, but few people ever have and few people ever will because: 1. It's a hassle to measure your ears 2. All the problems with distortion wrecking timbre will still be there.
- jayd16 5y agoSony is working on a version that uses an image of your ear to find a better match. They talked about it in a few PS5 talks.
- ErneX 5y agoThey said they might do that in the future, but who knows. PS5 ships with 5 profiles you can test and see which feels best.
