1. A method, comprising:
presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display device, wherein the GUI presents a drag and drop menu and a visual representation of a room, wherein the drag and drop menu comprises a plurality of selectable objects for placement at a plurality of selected positions within the visual representation of the room, and wherein the plurality of selectable objects comprises a plurality of loudspeakers; receiving a plurality of characteristics for the plurality of loudspeakers placed at the plurality of selected positions within the visual representation of the room, wherein the plurality of characteristics is determined from one or more visual indicators included in captured photographic images of the plurality of loudspeakers; determining, from the captured photographic images of the plurality of loudspeakers, a geometric configuration representing a positioning of the plurality of loudspeakers in a three-dimensional space, and at least one characteristic of the plurality of characteristics; and generating an acoustic model of the room and psycho-acoustic transfer functions, based on the plurality of characteristics for the plurality of loudspeakers, for determining virtual relocation of the plurality of loudspeakers to generate a psycho-acoustic effect.
