Ultrasonic Listening & Echolocation Hack Notes for August 10th, 2009
Eric and David have agreed to meet regularly on Monday nights to hack on the ultrasonic listening and echolocation kit idea/project. Tonight's goal: review all that we know, brain storm, and decide on a plan of attack for moving forward: what do we want to do/try first?
Review
- we have what we think is a non-tunable hererodyne ultrasonic listening toy
- there are also frequency division & time expansion techniques/kits/products
- we know little about the Spanish scientists who are training people to do echolocation by clicking their palates
- there are also interesting "directional sound" sensors & displays
Research
Another heterodyne eBay guy who builds them
heterodyne, frequency division,
Goal
A ultrasonic ranging device usable by blind people - or others who are interested.
Ideas for Moving Forward
- we could investigate what frequencies it does operate with
- we could order some kits or build our own
- we could find out more, do more research about what academia/the internet knows
- we could build the Arduino 3D sound compass display
