Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed to determine individualized head-related transfer function (HRTF) parameters for a user. The technique can include determining HRTF data of a user by using transform data of the user, where the transform data is indicative of a difference, as perceived by the user, between a sound of a direct utterance by the user and a sound of an indirect utterance by the user. The technique may further involve producing an audio effect tailored for the user by processing audio data based on the HRTF data of the user.
