Subject: HRTFs and CIPIC From: Scott Hildebrand <klezmer41(at)YAHOO.COM> Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 22:07:16 -0700I used to work at CIPIC in Davis doing spatial audio research. Those HRTF files are free to the public and I can help if needed. Also does anybody know of research positions in this space? I really enjoyed doing 3D audio and I also love VR.
