What is 3D localization?

3D localization or 3D position tracking can be defined as the measurement of a 3D position and orientation of one or more objects or subjects that move in a defined space, relative to a known location.

How is sound localized?

Sound localization is based on binaural cues (interaural differences), or differences in the sounds that arrive at the two ears (i.e., differences in either the time of arrival or the intensity of the sounds at the right and left ears), or on monaural spectral cues (e.g., the frequency-dependent pattern of sound ...

How do humans hear in 3D?

3D sound localization refers to an acoustic technology that is used to locate the source of a sound in a three-dimensional space. The source location is usually determined by the direction of the incoming sound waves (horizontal and vertical angles) and the distance between the source and sensors.
