Virtual Sound Using Loudspeakers: Robust Acoustic Crosstalk Cancellation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 551))

Abstract

In this chapter we describe how virtual sound may be delivered to a single listener using a small number of loudspeakers. We also outline the fundamental robustness problem inherent in all such systems, and explain how judicious choice of the loudspeaker locations can be used to help overcome this problem.
