Method of improving localization of surround sound

A non-transitory computer readable medium having embodied thereon instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to carry out the method for determining an optimal Head-Related Transfer Function the method comprising:

• a) determining a location of a user;
• b) play a location specific cue having a desired user response wherein the location specific cue is associated with a defined Head-related transfer function (HRTF) for the determined location of the user wherein the defined HRTF includes at least an interpolation between a first and second HRTFs chosen to match an anatomy of the user wherein the defined HTRF more accurately models the anatomy of the user than the first or second HRTF;
• c) detect a user response to location specific cue;
• d) analyze user response in comparison to location specific cue;
• and
• e) update the defined HRTF with the information from the comparison of the user response and the location specific cue.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having executable instructions embodied therein, the instructions being configured to cause the processor to carry out a method when executed, the method comprising;
• a) determining a location of a user;
• b) play a location specific cue having a desired user response wherein the location specific cue is associated with a defined Head-related transfer function (HRTF) for the determined location of the user wherein the defined HRTF includes at least an interpolation between a first and second HRTFs chosen to match an anatomy of the user wherein the defined HTRF more accurately models the anatomy of the user than the first or second HRTF;
• c) detect a user response to location specific cue;
• d) analyze user response in comparison to location specific cue;
• and
• e) update the defined HRTF with the information from the comparison of the user response and the location specific cue.
