SAVLab: A Virtual Laboratory for Spatial Audio Research

Funding Program: 2019 Call for “Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento”
Project Duration: June 2020 – February  2024 (3 years + 9 months extension)
Principal Investigator: Arcadio Reyes-Lecuona
Research team: Luis Molina-Tanco, Fabián Arrebola-Pérez, Antonio Díaz-Estrella, María Cuevas-Rodríguez, Daniel González-Toledo

Overview

The SAVLab project built on the open-source 3D Tune-In Audio Toolkit, advancing it into a reference virtual laboratory for spatial audio research. This project explored spatial audio rendering and its impact on sound perception, virtual sound source plausibility, and speech intelligibility.

Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, SAVLab successfully conducted experimental studies, developed new tools, and enhanced the usability and scope of the 3D Tune-In Toolkit, making significant contributions to psychoacoustic research and immersive auditory technology.

Key Results

1. Research Studies:
   • Speech Intelligibility: Experiments demonstrated the importance of individualized Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) in improving spatial release from masking, even in complex scenarios like “cocktail party” settings.
   • Dynamic Localization: Studies validated the importance of dynamic cues for accurate sound localization in virtual environments.
2. Tool Development:
   • Extended the 3D Tune-In Toolkit with:
     • Simulation of sound propagation delays.
     • Ambisonic encoding for spatial sound.
     • Early reflection modeling using the Image Source Method, shared as an open-source tool (GitHub link).
   • Supported integration with the Binaural Rendering Toolbox (BRT), developed in collaboration with the European SONICOM project.
3. Publications
