Moving the sound source around the microphones. All image sound sources whose delays are smaller then the RT60


visualizing the calculating procedure of RIR

Validation
Comparison with RoomSim under the same settings of room, microphones and sound source.
Difference:
- The restriction on how many image sources are considered, which is relaxed in RoomSimulator
- Delay filter(allowing fraction delays) is adopted in RoomSimulator but not in RoomSim
