AudioWorldSim represents a significant advancement in audio-based machine learning by providing open-source tools to generate realistic binaural datasets essential for training world models. By extending Meta's SoundSpaces framework with automated agent navigation and improved sound composition, this platform directly addresses data scarcity challenges in acoustic AI research. The release facilitates reproducibility and accelerates progress in simulating complex auditory environments for next-generation AI systems.
AudioWorldSim: Realistic Binaural Audio Datasets For World Models
arXiv:2608.21075v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This technical report presents AudioWorldSim, an open-source platform designed to generate realistic binaural audio datasets and advance research in audio-based machine learning, particularly world models. Built as a custom extension of Meta's SoundSpaces 2.0 platform, AudioWorldSim leverages their comprehensive acoustics framework, but focuses on the automatic rollout of random agent navigations, as well as implements crucial fixes to how continuous sound is composed. AudioWorldSim is made publicly available to the research community at https://github.com/Luizerko/AudioWorldSim to facilitate reproducibility.
