Combine ordinary sound with ultrasound(which is above normal hearing) to produce a narrow beam of sound. Item from Tomorrow's World featured on http://www.notafreemason.com/content2-04.html
Is this device or something like it available on the market yet ? If not, where can you get hold of this inventor so you can get him to build you one ?
I think every house-hold should have one of these so when they play loud music they don't disturb their neighbours!
The Audio Spotlight does not currently reproduce bass below 350 Hz well. As a result, the audio track is produced - equalized and mixed to eliminate most of these tones. To create a more dynamic acoustic environment, the low tones can be added back into the space with a subwoofer.
This is a well documented phenomenon known as "the Tomorrows World effect". Any brilliant idea that gets an airing on this show with the sub note, "And will be available in the next # years." soon disappears from public view.
The only time this hasn't happened is when they previewed Compact Discs.
Probably one of the reasons this show got canceled.
Regarding the Sound Spot Light, how did it handle bass?
Technology is fun for scientists I am sure. Sadly some freaking meglomaniac will use it for something wrong. Oh wait the military already has things like theses.oops. Nothing like being controlled in martial law with fun sounds eh?
@prectec My local drug store has one near their pharmacy.

Who is this guy? I thought Woody Norris is the inventor. It turns the air in the beam into tiny molecular speakers.

Imagine, if all the voices in our heads were from a computer program.

That sort of defeats the purpose of directional sound, right? Subwoofers are undirectional... Some bleeding into other zones must occur...
Where did you get that quote from? (saves me a trip...)

I saw this show about ten years ago. Its an awesome idea but is anywhere using this yet? like clubs etc?
I can see the military / secret service having use for this.
