OAT POSTER FOR ICAD2023
The Open Ambisonics Toolkit is the project of a modular framework for teaching ambisonics and promoting the diffusion of spatial audio through a DIY approach. It was first developed at SCM's SoundLab, CityU - Hong Kong through a Teaching Start-Up grant under the supervision of Prof. Per Magnus Lindborg. I worked on this project as a Research Assistant from September to December 2022, and I'm currently contributing to its further development and documentation.
The aim of the project is to provide institutions and individuals interested in spatial audio with the tools to navigate the existing information on ambisonics and its techniques, and to use them to build low-cost loudspeaker systems suitable for various applications. The modules included in the framework deal with the design of hardware solutions, the use of open source/free software packages, and the development of a coherent theoretical introduction and pedagogical path.
The project has produced a series of tutorials on the use of Raspberry Pi and various Linux-compatible software in the context of Ambisonics, and will result in a series of articles dedicated to the project, its processes and applications.
