TITLE: SofaMyRoom: a fast and multiplatform "shoebox" room simulator for binaural room impulse response dataset generation 

ABSTRACT: This paper introduces a shoebox room simulator able to systematically
generate synthetic datasets of binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) given an
arbitrary set of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The evaluation of
machine hearing algorithms frequently requires BRIR datasets in order to
simulate the acoustics of any environment. However, currently available
solutions typically consider only HRTFs measured on dummy heads, which poorly
characterize the high variability in spatial sound perception. Our solution
allows to integrate a room impulse response (RIR) simulator with different HRTF
sets represented in Spatially Oriented Format for Acoustics (SOFA). The source
code and the compiled binaries for different operating systems allow to both
advanced and non-expert users to benefit from our toolbox, see
