Abstract

Ear devices, such as noise-canceling headphones and hearing aids, have dramatically changed the way we listen to the outside world. We re-envision this area by combining wireless communication with acoustics. The core idea is to scatter IoT devices in the environment that listen to ambient sound and forward it over their wireless radio. Since wireless signals travel much faster than sound, the ear-device receives the sound much earlier than its actual arrival. This "glimpse" into the future allows sufficient time for acoustic digital processing, serving as a valuable opportunity for various signal processing and machine learning applications. We believe this will enable a digital app store around human ears.

MUTE: bringing IoT to noise cancellation
SIGCOMM '18: Proceedings of the 2018 Conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is a classical area where noise in the environment is canceled by producing anti-noise signals near the human ears (e.g., in Bose's noise cancellation headphones). This paper brings IoT to active noise cancellation by ...
A review of transduction techniques used in acoustics echo cancellation
AMTA'07: Proceedings of the 8th WSEAS international conference on Acoustics & music: theory & applications

In this review we shall describe the most typical and conventional transducers used in the acoustic echo cancellation systems and the effect of the transducer characteristics on achieving echo cancellation. We shall also discuss the typical design ...
Acoustics in 3D Printing
3D-printed models do look good but lack realism due to lack of sound. This paper provides a print initiator an easy workflow interface for adding relevant acoustics (sound) to a model whose 3D printing is being triggered. Adding acoustics (sound) adds ...
