Hi schmiph2,

Including non omnidirectional sources in the library is a great idea, but I'm afraid I don't have time time to implement it in the near future. Nevertheless, if anyone wants to try to do it, it should be possible and, actually, not too difficult.

The directivity of the receiver is included in:

Line 342 in c1279cd

amp *= mic_directivity(vec, &sh_orV_rcv[m_rcv], mic_pattern);

through the function mic_directivity:

gpuRIR/src/gpuRIR_cuda.cu

Line 132 in c1279cd

    
           __device__ __forceinline__ float mic_directivity(float doaVec[3], float orVec[3], micPattern pattern) {

This function first computes the angle between the steering vector of the microphone and the vector with the direction of arrival (DOA) of the image source and then apply the desired directivity pattern.

The directivity of the sources could be implemented in a similar way, but computing the angle bwtween the steering vector of the source (which should be added as a new parameter of the simulateRIR function) and the normal vector of the first reflection wall.

I'll try to implement it in the future if nobody does it before, but I don't know when I'll have time to do it.

Source Directivity #16
