In this project we work on the (S)patially (O)riented (F)ormat for (A)coustics: SOFA.
The file format is intended for reading, saving, and describing spatially oriented data of acoustic systems.
Examples of data we consider are head-related transfer functions (HRTFs), binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs), multichannel measurements such as done with microphone arrays, or directionality data of loudspeakers.
The format specifications are the major issue, but we also aim in providing APIs for reading and writing the data in SOFA.
