TeensyHeadTracker

Extension

Description

This class is a convenient interface that makes it easy to use the TeensyHeadTracker, a DIY head tracker for 3D audio production.

It is an abstraction that takes care of three things:

• finds the Teensy-Head-Tracker midi controller and connects SuperCollider to it + sets up responder functions
• adds and spawns a binaural decoder and scene rotator at the main output of SuperCollider. When the user presses ctrl/cmd-period to hardstop the sound, the output synth is automatically respawned. The user may choose between a native ATK decoder process.
• connects the midi controller to a scene rotator prior to the binaural decoder to allow the user to rotate it's head inside of the scene.

It is assumed that you use ATK to create ambisonics in SuperCollider and the synth spawned at the output of SuperCollider by this class expects the ATK's HOA format at it's input.

Dependencies

A full install of ATK is necessary for this quark to work:// Install dependencies for atk binaural decoder: ( Atk.downloadMatrices; Atk.downloadKernels; )
