Hi...
http://www.sonicvr.com
The patented technology within Sonic VR headphones can turn 7.1
surround sound into an even more immersive sound experience.

http://www.princeton.edu/3D3A/PureStereo/Pure_Stereose4.html
At the heart of the BACCH-SP is BACCH® 3D Sound technology developed
at Princeton University, which purifies stereo audio signals from the
crosstalk inherent in loudspeaker-based playback, allowing the
listener’s brain to receive the proper psycho-acoustical cues that are
needed to localize recorded sound sources realistically in 3D space.
see Ambiophonics etc. (binaural via loudspeakers...)

Provide some more specific link, means related to binaural recordings.

GenAudio created AstoundSound as a software solution. No special
equipment is required, and the technology is compatible with all
presentation formats. AstoundSound 3D audio can be heard and perceived
from as few as two speakers, but is also compatible with multi-channel
systems. Full 3D audio spatialization in gaming brings a true-to-life
experience over headphones. Music is breathed new life with an
unbelievably wide sound stage over stereo speakers. Movies go beyond
surround sound with the addition of elevation cues over a
multi-channel system. Even higher multi-channel content can be
faithfully reproduced in a lower channel count system, like 7.1
content being heard the way it was produced, over a 5.1 system.

Interactive video needs interactive audio. 3Dception now natively
supports Ambisonic B-format decoding, so that you can rest easy while
the audio automatically adjusts to the user's headtracked information
in real-time.

Below is a list of just a few of the companies claiming capable of transforming
binaural recordings into head tracking audio for VR applications
You have provided no evidence whatsoever for this claim...
(It is more the opposite: These companies provide HT binaural decoders
for other formats; < not > HT binaural decoders for binaural recordings.)
Should I add that I feel a bit bored? Provide at least one valid link
with some evidence, don't do company "name dropping".
Best,
Stefan

Hey Stefan,

-Two Big Ears (https://twobigears.com/ <https://twobigears.com/>)
-AstoundSound (http://www.astoundholdings.com/

-Sonic VR (http://www.sonicvr.com/ <http://www.sonicvr.com/>)
VR is growing incredibly fast and companies are popping up daily! Most of them
software, which is not entirely great news for hardware guys like us. They
believe they can take the mono audio captured from your iPhone mic and make it
head tracking capable! I honestly don;t believe it. But there’s a lot of code
out there….

I apologize if this is not the way to post, but I'm looking for
feedback on a product I've recently invented HOOKE (www.hookeaudio.com )
I like your idea of adding bluetooth to the mix.
Long ago, in the late-60's or early 70's, when cassette Walkmen were
king, (Aiwa offered a low-cost combined stereo headphone/near-ear
binaural microphone set. )
Wrong historical timing!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkman
The original Walkman was marketed in 1979 as the Walkman in Japan and,
from 1980, the Soundabout in many other countries including the US,
Freestyle in Sweden and the Stowaway in the UK
In this sense, the Walkman is an early form of the (now historical,
"noughties") iPod, and belongs clearly to the "80s"... ;-)
Best,
Stefan
P.S.: The iPod might still exist, but Walkmen/iPods are obsolete in the
current environment.

We are currently in talks with software spatialization companies regarding
adding an algorithm that would allow Hooke to be used as a head tracking audio
playback option for VR scenarios. And this could be added to your Hooke via a
OTA software update months after you purchase the headphones :-)
And how can you apply head-tracking to a binaural recording?
Last time I have argued that B format recordings allow (easy)
application of HT, binaural recordings actually not.
You can't reconstruct the real or B format sound field from a binaural
recording. If not, I don't see how you could apply HRTF data sets to
calculate a (new) binaural representation - corresponding to your
current head orientation. I am very open for smart algorithms, but still...
No way, IMO!

Stefan
