Turtle Beach HyperSound Glass
HyperSound technology is a fundamentally new approach to sound delivery that generates a highly directional, narrow beam of audio in the air.
Turtle Beach Corporation, a leading audio technology company for over 40 years, has achieved another significant breakthrough with its HyperSound technology, as the company revealed today it is now able to create directional audio using a transparent pane of glass. The Company's latest innovation opens the doors for exploration into future glass-based directional audio products and applications in the consumer, commercial and hearing healthcare spaces.
"The advancements the HyperSound team is making with directional audio are simply amazing - some of the biggest breakthroughs in audio technology to come along in decades," said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. "Being able to create highly directional audio using glass opens up many potential opportunities, including integrating into desktop monitors, commercial displays, desktop speakers, and automotive dashboard glass to provide warnings directed specifically at the driver… pretty much anywhere there's glass there's a potential for audio. As we progress the technology, this also opens up licensing possibilities to external parties looking for ways to integrate the latest audio technology into their products. Again, it's still early in development and the applications are simply ideas on the drawing board, but at the same time having HyperSound directional audio working on glass is very exciting and we can't wait to show it publicly for the first time at E3."
Similar to how a flashlight directs a beam of light, HyperSound directs a beam of audio to targeted listeners in a specific spot, delivering an immersive, 3D-like audio experience. HyperSound Glass is similar in design to touchscreen glass, where there are multiple layers of transparent materials and electronics working in conjunction with the glass. For HyperSound Glass, the glass pane is layered with a set of transparent films allowing it to generate abeam of ultrasound that delivers crisp, clear audio to the targeted listener.

F*ck that neighborhood in particular.
And I see a beam of ADs with sound streaming directly in narrow passage on streets and facilities. Might be more annoying than cool in companies hands.

Solution to noisy neighbours playing music at 3am?
As long as the speakers aren't facing your wall anyway

No because ****s who play music at 3am want people to know they're playing music at 3am. Only solution to them is a crowbar round the back of the head.

The tech is cool. One already has a sweet spot for audio with traditional setups. This appears to remove all the sound outside of the sweet spot. This is good for late night gaming and listening without the need for headphones. Might be worth playing around with these depending on the price.
Can already see the pranks, actual voices appearing to be in the walls.

I think this is a result of military tech by which they are able to project a directed beam of truly deafening sound (eardrum-blowing) across a battlefield. Imagine taking audible communications away from the enemy!
I'm sure someone will come up with creative/practical consumer applications for it at some point, but stereo speakers that only emit sound in one direction? Even if you set these next to your monitor you would like have to point them toward your head to hear them without missing frequencies. Unless you have the left pointing directly in the left ear and the right pointing directly I the right as in headphones you don't have to wear (but you're still limited to where you need to sit), I'm not sure where this would go.
