The system uses bone conduction earphones to emit a single tone in the ultrasound frequency band with a microphone attached to detect LSAW along the face. This device, using bone conduction earphones and a lightweight deep neural network combined with signal processing, can detect hand gestures with a high degree of accuracy. Using bone conduction earphones producing a single tone at the ultrasound frequency band, a MAF can be produced around a user’s head and face.
This technology has significant potential applications in the music, film, and video game industries, where immersive audio experiences are highly valued. This process allows for the creation of a database of topographical ear data and corresponding HRTFs, which can be used to produce realistic auditory experiences over headphones. • Enhanced sound localization in video games.
The "Smartphone-based Ultrasonic Respiratory Evaluation (SURe)" uses the existing hardware in smartphones—specifically the speaker and microphone—to provide accurate, convenient, and non-invasive pulmonary function measurements. • Remote and telehealth diagnostics.
