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
For those who like to muck around in boats, there’s enough to worry about without wondering if you’re going to run aground. And there’s really no way to know that …read more Continue reading Homebrew Sounder Maps the Depths in Depth
When [Ezra Thomas] needed inspiration for his senior design project, he only needed to look as far as his own robot. Built during his high school years from the classic …read more Continue reading Robot Pet is A Chip Off The Old Logic Block
We all know that bats locate prey in the dark using echolocation, but … is that really all there is to it? Scientists decided to get more details on the animals’ hunting process, by equipping them with tiny wearable computers.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Bat “backpacks” provide new insights into hunting strategies
It’s very important for fish farmers to keep track of the number of fish in their pens, but doing so typically involves going in and actually netting out some of the fish. According to new research, echo-sounding tech could soon serve as an easier and … Continue reading Echo-sounding used to count farmed fish – without all the hassle
Radar and LiDAR have been incredibly quick and effective tools for mapping and surveying the Earth’s surface from aircraft and satellites, but while they can deliver accurate readings through cloud and even forest canopy cover, they can’t tell you what… Continue reading Stanford engineers invent a sonar device that works outside the water
