I'll just pick a few of these up and hang them around my room, goodbye bulky mess!

 

[lvlouro]

this could be really cool for ultra-ultra-thin laptops

Build them into a chair and get a massage.

This is the perfect advertisement. You can print on it, it produces audio, and it can only be heard from a very specific area? Perfect.

I wonder what the folks over in creative marketing are going to come up with.

 

[leo2kp]

I wonder what the quality is like.

 

[jellico]

Wow, this is just... wow! I love to see stories like this. Truly new and innovative technology. The applications for something like this are limitless.

Yeah, you can bet they won't have any bass to them though. You have to be able to move enough air to produce low, powerful tones, like a kick drum in a song or an explosion in a movie. There's just no way that cloth can do that. That's probably why this tech was being demo'd as an advertisement instead of a replacement for speakers.

"Various reports indicate that Yamaha quietly showcased a prototype speaker technology..." lol yeah, i'm guessing 1mm thick piece of fabric can't produce anything to high in volume or quality.

Pretty sure its ultrsound audio that works by creating interfearance patterns beetween two ultrasonic sources. It should have a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 KHz.

[Seductive voice]Bob, you missed a spot.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Reminds me of the movie Minority Report.

Could you elaborate a bit about your "flat sound wave" comment?

Normal sound waves aren't always curved. There are many, many basic forms of a sound wave. Sine (what you probably know as curvy), Sawtooth, Square, and triangle. Mixing these basic waves together creates the complex wave that normally makes up any given sound. That's basically how synthesizers make sound (in a very basic manner of speaking).

Now, to say that the wave is FLAT... you're either saying it's a square wave (which would be an inaccurate description), or.... silence.

Please elaborate.

Would be a major product of interest for onstage musicians.
I can also see this product installed in airplanes and tourbusses above the passengers as their personal radio or monitor.

Also in churches, cathedrals, exhibitions and museums it would help!

I want one now.
