International Herald Tribune article Imagine:
People around you are talking with a cell phone, but you can not hear any sound they emit. Originally intended for a military research will allow such a social paradise possible.
You no longer have to under the watchful eyes, out of the room to answer the phone.
U.S. Department of Defense research institutions DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is working on a program called "Advanced voice coding" program, designed to use through the speaker's nerves and muscles, rather than the sound itself, to recognize the voice of the voiceless sensor to replace the microphone.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts Rick Brown DARPA developed a system - a worn around the neck of the "tuning resonance induction collar (referred TERC). Using magnetic resonance imaging for the development of identification technology, This "collar" to detect the vibration of the vocal cords caused by a change in capacitance, allowing the speaker in the case of large background noise can also be the other end of the phone who heard clearly.
Another similar to the project was originally developed by NASA's Ames Laboratory developed. It on the neck using a sensor called EMG electrodes to identify the change in resistance of the neck to speak. This sensor can even recognize silent reading or lip said. Voice information is transmitted to a computer sounder, which it re-generate the speaker said those words.
DARPA intends to deliver this technology to soldiers and covert operations in noisy vehicles or personnel in working underwater divers. But one day, the average person might spend a modified version of this technology. Thus, in a noisy factory, bar or party, call do not shout it.
More importantly, this technology will allow people to be able to train cars, cinema or library use, etc. without disturbing others. Brown has produced a TERC prototype, and EMG technology prototype will be developed in 2008 is expected.
However, the two systems are required to pay a certain price. Because voice is generated by a computer, received a phone call will hear talk of people using a synthetic voice to speak, but for some people, it is their willingness to get quiet and tranquil pay. (To Shao)
