Abstract

Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for efficiently processing an audio track of a virtual object with a head-related transfer function (HRTF). Audio tracks are processed by determining a current position (direction and optionally distance) of the virtual object with respect to the head of a user, identifying a current audio zone from predefined audio zones responsive to the determined current position where each of the audio zones has a corresponding left predefined filter and a corresponding right predefined filter, applying the left and the right predefined filters corresponding to the current audio zone to the audio track to produce a left audio signal and a right audio signal, and presenting the left audio signal with a first speaker and the right audio signal with a second speaker.
