The Sound Revolution

Quote:

HSS could be used to make laptop speakers that blare music to the person in front of the screen, while no one else could hear it. It could allow a grocery store to play audio advertisements that seem to come from, say, the display of Duracell batteries, yet the ad could be heard only by the shopper in front of the display. An HSS-equipped car could play one CD for the parents up front and another for kids in the back. Neither would hear even a whisper of the others' music.

I never imagined something like this would happen. I can't wait till it is adopted into mainstream society.

Even though its old, I thought it was cool

Tht would be great for me, I could listen to my music without disturbing other family members. I could also listen to music others might find offensive.

Re: The Sound Revolution

The point is that you would get the same effect as wearing headphones without actually wearing them. Also, the military already started using this for their own purposes.

I understand, it just seems that like...is wearing headphones really that bad? I dunno, I guess it is more convenient.

Re: The Sound Revolution

For places like cars, I would prefer this technology over headphones. For the computer though, I could side with Germanator and just whip out a pair of comfortable headphones.

Re: The Sound Revolution

Sound f*cking rocks. I love physics.

So they're just shooting two ultrasonic waves at the listener...that's brilliant. I can't wait to see this stuff in the mainstream, that could be incredibly useful. Of course, I wonder if it distorts the sound at all. It'll be interesting to compare that audio to some nice speaker set ups avaliable now. The science behind noise-cancelling headphones is incredible as well. I've been meaning to get me a pair of those, but good ones are a few hundred dollars.

Re: The Sound Revolution

I read about HSS a coupld of years ago, and the prime example for it would be advertising.

Imagine walking past a coke machine with four other people and having it ask JUST you if you're thirsty.

Would be great for jokes and secrets. A machine could tell you something that your friends can't hear. You'll laugh, they'll be confused. :)

Re: The Sound Revolution

This makes me wonder if the "Revolution" Nintendo is talking about is not over graphics, but the much-overlooked sound.
