When it comes to secrets, whispering just got outdated. Disney Research has come up with a microphone, straight out of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, that doesn't actually amplify your ramblings, but instead turns them into a secret signal you can transmit by touch. The Ishin-Den-Shin installation—named for a Japanese term that means something along the lines of "telepathy" and/or "tacit understanding"—actually takes the sound being spoken into a microphone, and reconfigures it into a high voltage, low current, inaudible signal that's beamed back into the microphone-wielders body. Then, when he or she reaches out to touch another person's ear, that the inaudible signal actually vibrates the listener's earlobe, which then works as a tiny speaker to deliver the message. i can think of something else i'd like to transmit sound through, can you? you know... turn up the juice on this gizmo, and give whoever's working on you down below a soundtrack. theoretical question: if you were a fan of aphex twin, and aphex twin used this device to transmit an unlreased aphex twin song through his dick, would you then suck his dick in order to hear the unreleased tune? (....or would you pass on that and just hold his dick to your earlobe?) |

Yah, pretty cool. Reminds me about this focused speaker design that I've been thinking about recently, which transmits the upper freq concentrated through some tube or someshit, in order to have super-direction sound. Was wanting to make one, and then I was wondering how a speaker could be made to not blow itself up with ample wattage. |

they've had those sound-dome sorta things in museums for years. best analogy is like a showerhead for sound: you step under the dome, and inside the column of sound falling down from it. you hear info about whatever the exhibit is, then step out of the column. sound immediately becomes very hard to hear (i presume it bounces off the floor, back up into the dome, at which point the parabolic shape and some standing-wave trickery cancels out any sound that didn't get absorbed. |

or, do you think they simply phase-reverse the sound, then pump out that along with the original in a very precise manner in order to cancel out anything outside of the zone? that'd be much simpler |
