- What is the theory behind creating the illusion of a sound emanating
- from a particular point in three dimensional space? With regard to
- lateral motion, the amplitude and timing of the sounds entering each
- ear could obviously be adjusted to create the desired effect. How
- would one create the illusion of a sound coming from above or below
- the listener? Or is this effect only possible through adjusting what
- the listener hears as he moves his head?
-
- Any information is appreciated!
