The 3DTI Toolkit is a standard C++ library for audio spatialisation and simulation using headphones, which aims at using 3D sound and simulating hearing loss and hearing aids within virtual environments and games. The Toolkit allows the design and rendering of highly realistic and immersive 3D audio, and the simulation of virtual hearing aid devices and of different typologies of hearing loss.
Developed as part of a previous project involving several SONICOM partners, the Toolkit will soon be replaced by the Binaural Rendering Toolbox, which will be fully developed within SONICOM.
Supported by SONICOM, the Auditory Modelling Toolbox (AMT) is a MATLAB/Octave toolbox for the development and application of computational auditory models with a particular focus on binaural hearing.
Developed within SONICOM, the BRT library includes the algorithms developed in the 3D Tune-In Toolkit in a new open, extensible architecture. The BRT consists of a library with C++ implementations of listener models, source models, and environment models.
SOFA is a file format for storing spatially oriented acoustic data like head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) and binaural or spatial room impulse responses (BRIRs, SRIRs) that has been standardized by the Audio Engineering Society.
Developed in SONICOM, SAM is an open-source software platform to help researchers and audio enthusiasts compare and visualise Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) with new features being continually added.
Created within SONICOM, this dataset includes HRTFs acoustically measured from more than 400 individuals, including HpTFs, RGB+depth pictures and high-resolution 3D model for 200 subjects we also have a synthetic HRTF.
