Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A transaural spatialized sound system for presenting spatialized sound to ears of a listener, comprising:
an input port configured to receive audio information in a plurality of channels; and
a processor configured to:
spatially filter each respective channel to generate a virtual spatial array of virtual audio signals representing spatialized audio, having a larger number of virtual audio signals than a number of channels;
map a plurality of the virtual audio signals to a plurality of physical transducers to produce transducer signals, wherein a number of number of virtual audio signals is greater than a number of physical transducers, the plurality of virtual audio signals mapped to a respective physical transducer being time-offset based on at least an estimated time difference of arrival at the ears of the listener; and
an output port configured to convey the transducer signals for the plurality of physical transducers.
