HRTFs and CIPIC

[Scott Hildebrand <klezmer41@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used to work at CIPIC in Davis doing spatial audio
research. Those HRTF files are free to the public and
I can help if needed. Also does anybody know of
research positions in this space? I really enjoyed
doing 3D audio and I also love VR.
