ambinaural
Mapping a 4 channel b-format (WXYZ) recording to 2-channel binaural. Ideal for mobile - fast, stable, low memory footprint.
Current implementations
The general b-format decoding is described as:
Where is the azimuth and
the lateral head position. Faktor
changes the beamforming characteristic, from full spherical (
= 0) to full cardioid (
= 1)
Matlab
First static proof of concept. Used to extract the necessary HRIRs from the KEMAR HRTF Database.
Ableton Live
Simple project to blend between simple b-format beamforming and the proposed method. You first need to generate output using matlab. Uses Live version 9.
Max MSP
First dynamic proof of concept. Loads input and HRIRs and convolves in real time. To run you must first download and install the HISSTools.
