Hypersonic Sound Beam to revolutionize museum exhibits
from Museophile
Breaking all the rules of nature, the Hypersonic Sound Beam allows audio messages to literally travel through space in the shape of a flashlight beam. The sound remains invisible and silent, until the beam makes impact with the surface or person it has been meant to impact. At that precise point of impact, the sound waves disperse and the audio portion of the message magically becomes audible at that particular point.
Amazingly, visitors who enter or cross the invisible sound envelopes created by the Sound Beam will experience your message INSIDE THEIR HEAD; as if they were wearing headphones.
Thanks to the Sound Beam, it is now possible to deliver a multitude of audio messages within a given area, and to do so simultaneously, without noise pollution. The elimination of headphones or other portable user-operated audio messaging devices also greatly reduces cost, hygiene issues, theft, maintenance, etc.
