Why do we even need Personalized HRTFs?

It is important to understand that human ears are as unique as fingerprints. Modeling the effect these complex ear features have on sound waves or Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) is extremely critical in rendering an immersive experience that sounds natural and perceived outside the head. However, accurately measuring HRTFs using state-of-the-art methods is a complicated and tedious process that is also expensive in terms of computation and engineering resources.  Measuring a person’s HRTF could take several hours that requires a subject to sit in an anechoic chamber and participate in measurements. The AI engine of Immerse Virtual Studio plugin models these personalized HRTFs in less than 60 seconds.
