Follow on Google News | MIT and Stanford Turn to Brown Innovations for Project WormHoleBrown Innovations connects MIT and Stanford students through revolutionary conferencing technology.
By: Charlie Noell The concept was dubbed "the Wormhole." After testing current market solutions, both universities realized off-the-shelf audio solutions wouldn't make the grade. In a joint venture, MIT and Stanford consulted and commissioned sound experts Brown Innovations to create a custom, head-set-free system. Brown developed an innovative conferencing system, ensuring private communication between participants despite noise levels at each café. A spherical sound dome mounted overhead focuses sound directly to each listener. The sphere acts as a lens, creating an audio "hologram" where voices are actually heard as if speakers were floating just outside each listener's ears. Amazingly, the technology is so precisely focused, only individuals seated at the table can hear audio playing through the speaker. Others just steps away hear virtually nothing. Another hemispheric lens mounted flush under the table utilizes multiple microphones to selectively collect each individual’s voice. The reflective dome concentrates sound waves from each participant to a corresponding microphone enabling crystal clear reception while minimizing ambient noise. “Our solution provides an intimate experience for both parties to hear and be heard in any environment.” Brown Innovations utilized their expertise in directional speakers for digital signage and kiosks to bring the Forbes project to fruition.
