SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a device designed to allow only one person to hear spoken words through the use of ultrasonic sound emitters. The concept involves an oval disk that surrounds the speaker's lips, directing sound waves towards a specific listener's ear. While the practicality of such a device is questioned, the underlying technology relates to directed sound principles, as outlined in the Wikipedia article on directed sound. The participants agree that the device would require further complexity to function effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ultrasonic sound technology
  • Familiarity with directed sound principles
  • Basic knowledge of sound wave propagation
  • Awareness of practical applications of sound directionality

My friend and i were discussing this device with which inly one person can hear what you say. It doesn't have much practical application, but still: we have a device, an oval disk or something which surrounds your lips but doesn't cover your mouth, and we place ultrasonic sound emitters on it. You then point your mouth to someone's ear, and then speak, then would it happen that only one person hears what you say? Would the ultrasonic waves confine the sound waves you emit? And would this have any practical application?

i know the drawings are horrible.
