Impulcifer | binaural impulse responses for personalized surround

Impulcifer is a Jupyter Notebook library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Arduino applications. Impulcifer has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Impulcifer is a tool for creating binaural room impulse responses (BRIR) for speaker virtualization on headphones. Normally headphones sound inside your head which is a clear disadvantage for games and movies but also for music because basically all material has been created for speakers. Virtual surround technologies for headphones have existed for a some time by now but almost all of them fail to fulfill expectations of out of head sound localization and the naturalness of speakers. This is because your brains have learned to localize sounds only with your ears and head and not with anyone else's. Surround sound on headphones can only be convincing when the surround virtualization technology has been tailored for your ears. BRIR is the tailored model for supreme virtual speaker surround on headphones. When done right virtualized speakers can be indistinguishable from real speakers. Watch these videos to get an idea what good BRIRs can do. The method used by Smyth Realizer and Creative Super X-Fi demos is the same what Impulcifer uses. These demos are trying to make headphones sound as much as possible like the speakers they have in the demo room for a good wow effect. Impulcifer actually takes this even further because Impulcifer can do measurements with only one speaker so you don't need access to surround speaker setup and can do room acoustic corrections which are normally not possible in real rooms with DSP.
