Abstract
A computer-implemented method performed by an audio system including a processor and a plurality of loudspeakers, comprises receiving an audio signal to be output to a listener, obtaining a first Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) corresponding to a first predefined listening pose of the listener, obtaining a second HRTF corresponding to a second predefined listening pose of the listener, determining, for each of the plurality of loudspeakers a respective loudspeaker signal using the audio signal, the first HRTF, and the second HRTF, and simultaneously outputting, via the plurality of loudspeakers using the loudspeaker signals, a first sound signal for the first predefined listening pose corresponding to the first HRTF and limited to a first predefined spatial zone, and a second sound signal for the second predefined listening pose corresponding to the second HRTF and limited to a second predefined spatial zone different from the first predefined spatial zone.
