Dataset: Eigenmike-DRIRs, KEMAR 45BA-BRIRs, RIRs and 360° pictures captured at five positions of a small conference room

A data set was created to study the position dependent perception of room acoustics in case of a small conference room. Binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) were measured with KEMAR 45BA at 5 different potential listening positions. To keep the direct sound similar the Genelec 1030A two-way loudspeaker was always placed at a distance of 2.5m. In one condition, the loudspeaker was turned towards the listening position, in the other condition it was turned by 180° to achieve an indirect reproduction with low direct sound energy. Furthermore, an mh acoustics Eigenmike was placed at each of the five listening positions and 32-channel directional room impulses responses (DRIRs) as well as an omnidirectional room impulse response (RIR) were captured where the center of the head was placed before.

Additionally, 360° visual footages were captured with a GoPro Omni spherical camera array to provide audiovisual impressions of the listening situation at the five positions.
