Abstract

In this paper, we investigate measured changes in spatial perception presented by hats and other head-worn equipment. Particularly, helmets worn in sports, military and civil services (firefighters, police etc.) can affect spatial awareness and localization of wearers, possibly putting the wearer and others in danger. For this paper, a variety of hats were placed on a Head And Torso Simulator (HATS). The Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) was measured in an anechoic chamber at a variety of angles around the HATS. The data will be analyzed to show the differences between various head-worn devices.
