How Head Tracking Can Elevate Your Spatial Audio Experience
Imagine you are walking down the street, and you hear someone call your name from your right side. You turn your head in that direction. You can see the person who called out to you in front of you now.

In fact, no matter what you do or how you turn, you always hear your name being called from your right, irrespective of where they are. This would break the rules and the reality of your world.
Or what if you were playing an open world fantasy video game, and your character is exploring the top of a hill for treasure. The game tells you that your quest objective, the buried treasure chest, will start making a pinging sound, that gets louder the closer you get to it. You can hear the pinging sound, but you can’t quite tell if it’s coming from in front of you, or behind you. As you walk, you can’t tell if it’s getting louder, softer, or staying at the same loudness. How are you supposed to find your objective then?
