Welcome to the Microphone Array Emulator platform of the RAPPTORlab at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. From this website one can emulate the behaviour of a microphone array along with the required Signal Processing Chain. It is also possible to compute captured samples from measurements with microphones. After computation, the results can be visualized in both 2D and 3D. Launching emulations and visualizing results can be done by using the tools provided at the download section.

A few steps are required before one can launch emulations and visualize results:

• Create an account on our platform. We kindly ask to provide the full name, e-mail address and institution of affiliation.
• Each account needs to be approved by the administrator of the tool. After acceptance, the account will allow to launch emulations and to visualize the results.
• Download both the AcLocEm-client and the visualisation tool at the download section.
• A page describing the functionalities of the tools are provided at the tutorial section.

At the time of writing we provide a minimal set of functionalities that will be extended in the near future. The list of features can be retrieved at the Features page. One can also request to add a feature to the platform. We therefore would like you to take contact with the system administrator.
