Holosonics’ Audio Spotlight technology was featured on Wonderama, a syndicated children’s show that appears on local stations throughout the U.S. Audio Spotlight directional speaker technology, which has been featured on many TV shows in the U.S. and beyond, produces narrow beams of sound, similar to a flashlight’s beam of light.
Audio Spotlight technology was featured on Wonderama’s “Cool Science” segment an episode that aired on TV stations nationwide. Physicist Deborah Berebichez, PhD, co-host of Discovery Channel’s “Outrageous Acts of Science” show, made a guest appearance on Wonderama to demonstrate Audio Spotlight technology in action.
“The Audio Spotlight is a beautiful combination of science and wonder,” said physicist Deborah Berebichez, PhD. “I have demonstrated its directional sound for audiences many times and it amazes and thrills everyone who experiences it… The cast and audience of Wonderama were astonished!”
Audio Spotlight in Action
The Audio Spotlight system creates focused beams of sound by using a narrow beam of ultrasound as a “virtual” sound source. While ultrasound itself is outside the range of human hearing, this innovative technique causes the air to change the ultrasound’s “shape” as it travels. This change leads to the creation of clear sound that can be directed to a precise location, with directivity and control that far exceeds traditional loudspeakers. This directional audio technology is regularly used for enhancing a wide variety of commercial applications including libraries, museums and galleries, digital signage, retail displays, trade exhibits, and art installations around the world.
