Israeli startup Noveto is introducing the Soundbeamer 1.0 as an invisible headphone device to Kickstarter and it creates a revolutionary spatial 3D sensory personal audio experience. As Noveto describes, the desktop device "dynamically moves the source of the sound around the listener in 3D, beaming only to the listener, without disturbing people nearby—no speakers, no headphones."
Backed by AI-based built-in voice, facial and gesture recognition, the device creates an intuitive experience and a new way of listening to music, movies, games or taking phone and video calls. The innovative device updates the traditional ways of listening, which have previously been limited to public speakers or privately putting on a pair of headphones to limit disruptions to others nearby. This "third way of listening" is being called Audio Evolution by the startup.
