Dear SSL-Community,
As in the past years we are very happy to announce our entry for the Open Source Award: The AudioRef!
https://github.com/TIGERs-Mannheim/AudioRef
The AudioRef aims to improve the understanding of the current game state for referees, participants and spectators in an intuitive and immediate way. To achieve this the AudioRef awaits state changes, card changes, command changes and new game events in game controller packets and uses configurable sound packs to trigger appropriate acoustic signals like whistle sounds or voice shouts. The currently available English and German sound packs have been designed with a specific focus on conciseness, using an intuitive whistle pattern and trying not to describe the obvious. You're welcome to contribute your own sound packs!
The AudioRef has already been used at two local competitions and German Open 2024. You can hear it in action in this video from the German Open tournament (with the German sound pack): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgTJf4Soo_w
and very likely at the upcoming RoboCup!
In case you are missing any information or if you are just curious, contact us on Discord or write us an email.
Tigertastic Greetings, TIGERs Mannheim
