Thanks for the comment. I do hope we can offer such a service someday. But for now, the direct to consumer sofa file market is not one that lends itself to building a sustainable business around. Eventually, when HRTFs are as commonplace as prescription glasses...

Sorry to hear about the issues you're seeing. I've forwarded your comments to our web team. Thanks for bringing it up!

Thanks for checking us out! I'm sorry about the confusion. Please try the Audio-Technica build. Despite the description, all the builds work with any pair of headphones. We do tune the EQ to improve the experience for specific headsets (hence the different versions). But in the Audio-Technica build there is a "Generic Headset" option. We will also be releasing tunings for more headsets very soon, but any of the builds should give you a good idea of what we're about.

I'm not really allowed to share numbers right now, but our algorithms produce very accurate models as compared to actual anechoic chamber measurements. And we have things in the pipeline which take that accuracy even further. But do feel free to try us out for yourself. As the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding.

Hi, we don't sell headsets. Our software works with any pair of headphones. Really the comparison is how well does our personalized HRTFs perform for you compared to the generic HRTF that comes with PUBG. And I think this is a question that is better answered with a demo than a forum reply. Please give Immerse a try, we have free trials for everything.

I've seen a couple companies (Sony, Creative Labs, etc) do the ear photo thing like us but from what I recall they only use the photo to match you against a library of HRTFs. Our approach generates a unique HRTF for each user. But yes, I would expect to see a whole lot more of this in the near future from all the headphone makers.

Shameless plug: My company also makes virtual surround sound software for headphones. But unlike other solutions (like Atmos and Airpods Pro) we generate your HRTF from a photo of your ear using machine learning. If you're interested in this stuff, please check us out too: https://embody.co/

Vultr has been good for my needs. Especially since they offer datacenters in Tokyo unlike other providers. Interface not as good as DO but they are getting better.

Degrees don't guarantee anything. People hire based on what you can do and how well they get along with you. I think it's more important that you know what kind of work you want to do and then learn everything about it. Deep understanding of a marketable skill (networking, SQL, design, system software, containers, product development, etc) is very valuable. And universities don't have a monopoly on knowledge. You can work through all the textbooks and talk to engineers doing hard things without stepping foot in a school.

Having said that, schools are good at helping you navigate an endless body of knowledge. They have knowledgeable people to answer your questions and systems in place to verify your learning. Unfortunately, in many cases, you won't be interested in what you're learning until you understand the benefits in the real world. From personal experience, I was never interested in networking and databases until I had to build a back-end server for work (16 years after graduation). Now, I wish I had taken those classes or paid more attention because it would really help now. And I don't always have the discipline and energy to work through a textbook or open courseware now that I'm full-time employed and married.

Since you are already doing work you like, I would probably put more time into work and either go part time at school or suspend my enrollment for a year or two. After a couple years (or decades) you will probably figure out what you want out of school and be in a better place to take advantage of what a formal education has to offer. Never be afraid to put off school. It will always be there.
