Hello, for those who are interested in ambisonic processing on the web (outside of Facebook and Youtube 360 playback),
this is an update on the JSAmbisonics library of Web Audio objects for first- (FOA) and higher-order (HOA) processing: https://github.com/polarch/JSAmbisonics Compared to the first early summer release, the examples have been updated with better decoding filters, and some more functionality; you can check them on your browser (Chrome/Firefox) or mobile (Android/Chrome) here: https://cdn.rawgit.com/polarch/JSAmbisonics/1ccae3a6f0a60a690f5eb4bb5bbb21b58a5d5993/index.html There was also a recent presentation and publication on the library in the Interactive Audio Systems Symposium, York, UK. You can find a description of the internals of the library on that publication here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308761825_JSAmbisonics_A_Web_Audio_library_for_interactive_spatial_sound_processing_on_the_web For people interested to integrate spatial sound on their applications, it seems to me perfectly doable to do many of the apps that pop up recently with all the VR boom, directly on the browser and without getting tied to a certain platform. Examples can be HOA ambisonic players with head-tracking, simple HOA mixing tools and manipulations with a GUI etc, acoustic visualization tools etc.. In the online examples, the mobile-phone player one is a quick hack we cooked that tries to demonstrate that. It is intended for Android phones (maybe will work on iPhones too) that have a gyro, and renders a spherical video of a small part from a recording here at Helsinki concert hall, in split-screen, Google-cardboard style, with FOA playback, and rotation based on the mobile’s sensors. It has worked on most phones I tried it around ( if you see the video on the screen, you have to click anywhere to get it started ). On new features, various conversion tools and ambisonic mirroring have been added, but probably the most interesting one is that we did some effort on generating ambisonic-binaural filters from HRTF files, in the SOFA format, directly on the browser for an arbitrary order. So that people can select HRTFs from a database and get a personalized experience without having to derive the filters themselves. It is still WIP but it seems robust. The SOFA example demonstrates that with two HRTF sets. Safari and iOS are partially supported (no support for multichannel .ogg files at the moment, but otherwise mostly functional) Again, any comments or feedback mostly welcome!
