SpatDIF
SpatDIF stands for Spatialisation Description Interchange Format
In computer music, many spatialization algorithms use a self-contained syntax and storage-format, wherein control messages (e.g. trajectories to move a sound virtually) programmed for one application are incompatible with any other implementation.
This lack of a standardization complicates the portability of compositions and requires manual synchronization and conversion of control data - a time consuming affair. Incompatible data formats also prevent collaboration between researchers and institutions.
The general idea is to develop of a format to describe, store and share spatial audio scenes across 2D/3D audio applications and concert venues.
The ICST forms part of the team specifying and developing spatialization tools that use and promote the use of SpatDIF in the electronic music community.
