Subjective Localization Data for VBAP and VBIP Evaluation

Subjective localization data for evaluating Vector-Based Amplitude Panning (VBAP) and Vector-Based Intensity Panning (VBIP) techniques in the horizontal plane. Thirty self-reported normal-hearing participants (20-41 years) each localized 120 phantom sources generated by an octagonal eight-loudspeaker array in a semi-anechoic room. Three stimulus types were used: continuous white noise, intermittent white noise, and speech in Brazilian Portuguese. The dataset includes individual trial-level responses (source angle, response angle, absolute error), audio stimuli, room characterization data (reverberation time, frequency response, background noise), analysis scripts (Matlab), and photographs of the experimental setup. Data were originally collected in 2017 at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil, and reviewed/corrected in 2025.
