One time window gives one direction estimate as it is an impulse

impulses are spread in time, but the idea still works well.


to rephrase my priginal question: when you make a direction estimate for 
a single reflection, do you assume it's a scaled dirac pulse, or do you 
also take some coloration information by looking at the actual pulse 
over a short time window, to measure effects such as low-pass filtering 
etc.?



Doesn't this then rely on reflections being separated more than
the differences of time of arrival at the mics?


i don't think that's true in the general case, but there may be some 
incidence patterns for near-simultaneous reflections which are 
ambiguous. but thinking about that makes my head hurt :)



And even if not (if you really use correlation), as the density
of reflections increases, there will be two or more within each
time interval. In the reverb tail there will be many. How do you
separate them ?


if they reconstruct with DirAC, they don't need to. rather, the tails 
would be decorrelated per speaker and played back as a non-directional 
diffuse field.



It's possible to do such things using MDS and related techniques,
but none of those have been mentioned.


out of curiousity, what does MDS stand for?

Hi Jörn,

Did the reset button return the head or mics to face forward with the
sensors off? The reset button, for now, should only works for when the
sensors are off and the head/mics are being moved manually. Which means
that yes,  for now we will face north :-)


i see. i was expecting it to reset the listening position when the
sensors are activated.


In an upcoming update I'll make the reset button work with the sensors to
reset the soundfield front to be in the same direction as the device
when
pressed.


great, i'll be watching it for updates.


and there it is - now we can watch the sunset and still hear the 
orchestra in front :-D
