Virtual acoustic system with a multichannel headphone

摘要

The performance of current virtual acoustic systems is highly sensitive to the geometry of the individual ear at high frequencies. The objective of this paper is to study a virtual acoustic system which may be not sensitive to individual ear shape. The incident sound field around the ear is reproduced by using a multichannel headphone. The results of computer simulations show that the desired sound pressure at the eardrum can be successfully replicated in a virtual acoustic environment by using a multichannel headphone.
