Acoustic virtual reality is still vastly underutilized. This is partially due to challenges in rendering acoustic sources with spatial properties. To create a realistic acoustic scene, it is necessary to measure each user’s head-related transfer function (HRTF), which is a challenging and tedious process. We explore methods to improve the spatial acoustic experience in the absence of personalized HRTFs. We present a system composed of a calibration process and an application. We evaluate the performance at each step to demonstrate the effect of calibration and measure the usability of a visual audio display application.
