Subject: [AUDITORY] The 3D Tune-In Toolkit From: "Picinali, Lorenzo" <l.picinali@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2018 07:21:02 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_VI1PR06MB1565DB5F0958770A95EA2490BAA50VI1PR06MB1565eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleagues, the University of Malaga and Imperial College London are very proud to anno= unce the official release of the 3D Tune-In (3DTI) Toolkit. The 3DTI Toolkit is a standard C++ library for binaural audio spatialisatio= n (a version for loudspeaker-based spatialisation also exist) and hearing l= oss/hearing aid emulation, and has been created within the EU-funded 3D Tun= e-In project (http://3d-tune-in.eu/)<http://3d-tune-in.eu/> The binaural audio algorithm integrates several functionalities, such as: * Efficient convolution employing user-selected HRTFs * Interaural Time Differences (ITDs) customisation according to the use= r's head circumference * Near-field and far-field sound sources simulation * Emulation of the acoustic parallax effect * Ambisonic-based binaural reverberation The hearing loss simulator includes a multi-band dynamic range compressor/e= xpander, and an automatic configurator of hearing loss emulation from the u= ser-inputted audiogram. In addition, a frequency smearing algorithm, based = on the Baer and Moore model, and a temporal distortion (jitter) algorithm a= re also included. The hearing aid simulator includes a dynamic equaliser, with an automatic c= onfigurator which outputs the various amplification curves from the user's = audiogram. It also include a band-pass and re-quantisation process, in orde= r to simulate the specific acoustic and AD/DA conversion features of a give= n hearing aid, and a directional algorithm, which can be set continuously b= etween directional and omni-directional for each ear independently. More information about the 3DTI Toolkit features and how to use them can be= found in the installers zip file. The 3DTI Toolkit is available open source (GPLv3 license - royalty-free use= for non-commercial use) from the project's public repository: https://gith= ub.com/3DTune-In/3dti_AudioToolkit The test applications for various platforms (Mac, Windows and Linux) are al= so available, and allow to access all the functionalities of the 3DTI Toolk= it from a simple interface. The test application can be controlled remotely= using Open Sound Control (OSC), and can therefore be easily integrated in = existing VR systems. The various versions of the 3DTI Toolkit test applications can be downloade= d from the following links: * MacOSX version - https://imperialcollegelondon.app.box.com/s/b0rxurx9= pv1u1blalf1h0arpkntcmijh * Windows version - https://imperialcollegelondon.app.box.com/s/ee57fgb= 6q11765at6m84mje2ojt8sjrk * Linux Debian - https://imperialcollegelondon.app.box.com/s/r6zt7tq4sa= c87y2gl8im0r832khoiwi6 * Linux Red Hat - https://imperialcollegelondon.app.box.com/s/y2j8cikcq= w87n6j0622o1df1wfguax6u The 3DTI Toolkit is also going to be available as Unity and Javascript wrap= pers, allowing integration within the Unity 3D environment (as a simple ass= et) and on web-based platforms. An example of the web-based implementation = of the Toolkit can be found here - http://online-toolkit.3d-tune-in.eu/.<ht= tp://online-toolkit.3d-tune-in.eu/> If you are interested in using those, please contact Arcadio Reyes-Lecuona = (areyes@xxxxxxxx) and/or Lorenzo Picinali (l.picinali@xxxxxxxx). The 3D Tune-In project has received funding from the European Union=92s Hor= izon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 644051= - a short video has been created to describe the project, its goals and it= s outputs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dg_FsF28bsmw&t=3D72s Please feel free circulate to students and colleagues!
