When it comes to headphones, there are thousands of choices at different prices, brands, styles, sizes, etc. Under the task of improving their performance, headphones have been changing over time. Years ago, the trend was to use big retro headphones and later they appeared in a smaller size to be more comfortable to wear. The trouble with these was always the same: the cord. Recently, wireless headphones came to solve the disturbing problem of tangled headphones cords.
What could be better than wearing a good pair of headphones? It would be better to listen to your stuff without wearing headphones, just like if you stay on a personal sound bubble.
Is this possible? Thanks to “sound beaming” developed by Noveto Systems, this is now a reality. Sound beaming brings you the ultimate listening experience while you feel like in a 3D movie without bothering the people around you.
How does this “sound beaming” work? Once the 3D sensing module locates and tracks the user’s ear position, it will send the audio via ultrasonic waves to create sound pockets enveloping the user’s ear. The sound will follow the listener even when he moves his head. This innovative futuristic audio technology expects to be an earphone-free solution to the entire world. It is unbelievable how sound beaming sounds just like a speaker, but no one else than the user can hear it.
During its demo, the user assumed that they felt just as if they were inside the scene. Tech leaders such as Apple, Samsung, and Google remain working on perfecting 3D spatial audio. Sony’s 360 Reality Audio is the most similar, but wearing headphones is required in this one. In the upcoming years, Sound beamer may be the innovation that changes the listening fame.
