Abstract

In this talk, we show how acoustic metamaterials can be used to build the acoustic equivalent of optical devices. We demonstrate two key devices: (1) an acoustic prism, used to send the different notes in a melody towards different directions, and (2) an auto-zoom lens, used to send sound to a moving target. We conclude, discussing potential applications and limitations.

CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Centuries of development in optics have given us passive devices (i.e. lenses, mirrors and filters) to enrich audience immersivity with light effects, but there is nothing similar for sound. Beam-forming in concert halls and outdoor gigs still requires ...
