Abstract
This chapter describes the physical aspect of the HRTFs in the horizontal plane and sound image localization by reproduction of the HRTFs in the horizontal plane. Then, the cues for lateral localization, which are included in HRTFs, are discussed.

Note that the heads of the subjects were fixed tightly using a jig in the tests. There exist some requirements that must be satisfied in order to ensure accurate reproduction of the direction of a sound image by a transaural system (see Sect. 12.2 for details). Thus, at present, the transaural system is difficult to use as an experimental tool.
