 # About
 
-The Spatial_Audio_Framework (SAF) is an open-source, cross-platform framework for developing spatial audio related applications in C/C++. While originally intended as a resource for researchers in the field, the framework has gradually grown into a comparatively large and comprehensively documented code-base comprising a number of distinct **modules**; with each module targeting a specific sub-field of spatial audio (e.g. Ambisonics encoding/decoding, spherical array processing, amplitude-panning, HRIR processing, room simulation, etc.). Several **examples** have also been included in the repository, which serve to demonstrate the functionality of the framework.

 Owing to its modular design, expanding the framework is also relatively straightforward; with contributions from researchers and developers of spatial audio technologies being actively encouraged! :-)
