We're in the Semaine du Son this year! January 28th and 29th. Simon Foyart, Nicolas Chatzigianis and Thibault Mounes are working with Marjorie Van Halteren to shake things up with "Playing the Atrium" following Nicolas Coté presentation, "L’ACOUSTIQUE : L’ÉTUDE DE LA PHYSIQUE DU SON. "

A microphone that listens with light

A new sensor will help to make microphones hypersensitive: "Think of traditional videoconference equipment. Several people are sitting around the table, but the microphone has been placed where its sound reception is less than optimal. With technology of this sort, a microphone will be able to "see" where the sound comes from, pick up the voice of the person speaking, and filter out other sources of noise in the room," explains one of the researchers.
