Two new technologies allow a single pair of glasses to track eye movements and read the wearer’s facial expressions, respectively. The systems use sonar instead of cameras, for better battery life and increased user privacy.Continue ReadingCategory: We… Continue reading Odd-looking glasses track your eyes and facial expressions without cameras

Already equipped with an impressive sonar system, new research reveals that dolphins have an extra ability that evolves as they mature in the space where their baby whiskers once were. The super sense may help them navigate and find hidden food sources… Continue reading New dolphin super power discovered
Ever look out at a pond, stream, or river, and wonder how deep it is? For large bodies of water that are considered navigable, it’s easy enough to pull up …read more Continue reading Mapping the Depths with an Autonomous Solar Boat
One of the most common ways of measuring the speed of a vehicle is by using radar, which typically involves generating radio waves, directing them at a moving vehicle, and …read more Continue reading Using Sonar To Measure Traffic Speeds
Some people lack the power of speech, while others may find themselves in noisy settings where speaking voice commands out loud just won’t work. Such folks might have use for the EchoSpeech glasses, which read their user’s silently spoken words.Continu… Continue reading Sonar-enabled glasses read wearers’ silently spoken voice commands
Detecting objects underwater isn’t an easy challenge, especially when things get murky and dark. Radio waves don’t propagate well, so most techniques rely on sound. Sonar is itself farily simple, …read more Continue reading Supercon 2022: Alec Vercruysse Can See Through Murky Water
When we think of animals that work together to hunt prey, we typically think of creatures such as wolves or orcas. Common bats may soon be added to that list, as a new study suggests that they show each other where the tasty insects can be found.Contin… Continue reading Study suggests “networking” bats work together to find food faster
Engineers at Cornell University have developed a new wearable device that can monitor a person’s facial expressions through sonar and recreate them on a digital avatar. Removing cameras from the equation could alleviate privacy concerns.Continue Readin… Continue reading Wearable sonar tracks facial expressions using sound instead of cameras
To say that the ocean is a dynamic environment would be a gross understatement, especially when coastlines are involved. Waves crash, tides go in and out, and countless variables make …read more Continue reading Surf Sensor Adds Depth To Finding The Ultimate Wave
