SOFAlizer: Example of loading SOFA files in C++

We have a draft source code for a plug-in called SOFAlizer for the VLC-Player. This plug-in is not available within the official release of the VLC-Player yet (but we work on that ;-) ).

The file sofalizer.c can serve as an example of how to load SOFA files in C++.

Windows binaries of the VLC-Player 2.1 compiled with the SOFAlizer plug-in are available. In order to use SOFAlizer:

  • Download the official VLC 2.1 from here and install on your machine
  • Download the SOFAlized-VLC from here, unzip, and copy over your VLC installation
  • Start VLC
  • Goto Tools, Preferences, check "Show settings: All"
  • In the left panel, for Audio/Filters, check "SOFAlizer"
  • In the left panel, for Audio/Filters/SOFAlizer, select at SOFA file 1,2,3 up to three SOFA files
  • Click on Save
  • Goto Tools/Effects and Filters, in that panel, select "SOFAlizer"
  • Enable SOFAlizer
  • Load a audio/video file, enjoy

WaveCloud-M

WaveCloud-M is Matlab-oriented room simulator. Beginning with version 1.0, WaveCloud-M can use HRTFs saved in SOFA to render binaural signals.


HDF5View

SOFA files are based on netCDF-4. NetCDF is based on HDF5. HDFView is a generic viewer for HDF5 files running in Java.

Thus, SOFA files can be loaded and edited in the HDFView.
