1. A spatialized sound system, comprising: a non-visual imaging spatial sensor comprising a radar sensor having an antenna array, configured to determine a head location and orientation of at least one listener in an environment with respect to an audio transducer array without producing a visual image of the at least one listener; a signal processor configured to: transform a received audio program according to a spatialization model and a head-related transfer function based on the determined head location and orientation of the at least one listener in an environment; and generate an array of audio transducer signals for the audio transducer array based on the transformed audio program representing spatialized audio; and a network port configured to communicate the determined head location and orientation of the at least one listener in the environment with respect to the audio transducer array to a remote server.
