The personalization of the head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) improves externalization and spatialization in headphone listening. The accurate measurement of an individual HRTF is time-consuming and complicated that has led to increased interest towards simulation based HRTF acquisition. The main challenge for simulations has been the lack of the fast and simple method to generate the three-dimensional (3D) geometry of the head and pinnae. On the other hand, a numerical solution of the 3D wave equation that characterizes the HRTF has been considered computationally demanding. We introduce an end-to-end process from the acquisition of the geometry to use of the personalized HRTFs in several applications. Results from the preliminary listening tests and future improvements are also discussed.
