Abstract
A system for generating and outputting three-dimensional audio data using head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) includes a processor configured to perform operations comprising: using a collection of previously measured HRTFs for audio signals corresponding to multiple directions for at least one subject; performing non-parametric Gaussian process hyper-parameter training on the collection of previously measured HRTFs to generate one or more predicted HRTFs that are different from the previously measured HRTFs; and generating and outputting three-dimensional audio data based on at least the one or more predicted HRTFs.
