A media system and a method of using the media system to reproduce spatial audio based on head-to-torso orientation, are described. The method includes determining a head-to-source orientation and a head-to-torso orientation based on head orientation data generated by a head tracking device. Determining the head-to-torso orientation includes determining torso movements based on movements of the head. The torso can be determined to move when the head movements meet a head movement condition, such as a predetermined angle of movement or pattern of movement. A binaural audio filter that is based on a head-related transfer function corresponding to both the head-to-source orientation and the head-to-torso orientation is applied to an audio input signal to generate an audio output signal. The audio output signal is played to accurately recreate spatial audio having sounds emitted to the user by a sound source. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Disclosed are systems and methods for rendering personal sound zones (PSZs) with head tracking using multiple loudspeakers, utilizing a Spatially Adaptive Neural Network (SANN) to dynamically generate and update audio filters that create acoustically bright and dark zones based on the listener head positions. First, the SANN encodes listener head coordinates and outputs corresponding PSZ filters as either time-domain impulse responses or frequency domain complex -valued coefficients. Then, acoustic transfer functions (ATFs) corresponding to the rendering loudspeakers and control points within PSZs are simulated at random room acoustics conditions and optionally measured in a specific rendering environment. The combined ATFs along with a unified loss function that incorporates multiple PSZ design objectives, are utilized in training the SANN for randomly sampled listener positions within the rendering area.
