Default The Sound Revolution

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.

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.

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.

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