Summary:
This study proposes a 3D sound localization platform allowing users to freely set each sound reflection from their surroundings based on Head-Related Transfer Functions which hold spatial information. Reflected sounds seem to affect sound localization in a virtual space, however, not so many detailed studies have been conducted at this present, which seems necessary to have a platform that allows a detailed evaluation of the effects of reflected sounds. On the other hand, such a platform has not been reported, which is the motivation to propose the platform. The platform enables the evaluation of 3D sounds in a virtual space with freely parameter settings of reflected sounds. Experimental results show influences of reflected sounds on sound localization of sound sources and contributions of this platform to creating various 3D sound environments according to situations.
