Compensation of sound source direction perceived through consumer-grade bone-conduction headphones by modifying ILD and ITD
Mamoru Iwaki, Yoshiki Chigira · 2016
When sound stimuli are presented through bone-conduction headphones, the direction of arrival is perceived differently than it is in air-conduction headphones. This paper presents a compensation method in which interaural level difference (ILD) and interaural time difference (ITD) are modified. Experiment results indicate that ILD is more effective than ITD for compensation purposes. This is useful for designing user interfaces in consumer electronics, especially for interfaces for disabled persons.
