Subject: [AUDITORY] Outdoor audio source localization, separation, and resynthesis demo From: Spencer Russell <sfr@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2020 13:29:53 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--99a069a66cd743ef97c021937e8cf64c Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, I hope everyone is staying safe in these uncertain times. I'm finishing up my PhD dissertation and have built a demonstration of m= y research that listeners can run on their own machines, for some virtua= l outdoor time. There is more explanation inside the application, but th= e focus of the research has been measuring an outdoor soundscape with a = wide-spaced microphone array (covering about 300m by 300m), and then res= ynthesizing it in a virtual world. The research includes implementations= of audio source localization and multichannel signal enhancement (foreg= round/background separation). I strongly recommend wearing headphones. I'd appreciate it if you could try it out and fill out the following sho= rt survey. Please don't fill out the survey unless you were able to use = headphones. Also feel free to share any glitches or things that are conf= using. Survey is here <https://forms.gle/ewPtWgQyrTo448qX9> Downloads are here: MacOS: https://tidmarsh.media.mit.edu/~sfr/soundfield_resynth/Soundscape%20Resy= nthesis%20Demo%20v1.2%20OSX.app.zip Windows (64-bit): https://tidmarsh.media.mit.edu/~sfr/soundfield_resynth/Soundscape%20Resy= nthesis%20Demo%20v1.2%20win64.zip Linux (64-bit): https://tidmarsh.media.mit.edu/~sfr/soundfield_resynth/Soundscape%20Resy= nthesis%20Demo%20v1.2%20linux%20x86_64.zip Note this hasn't been certified by Apple or Microsoft, so you may see a = warning when you try to run it. There is no installation process, just u= nzip the downloaded file and you should be able to run from the unzipped= folder.
