One company making some big buzz at the DEMO 2009 conference is Emo Labs, which revealed their “invisible speakers” to the applause of the audience. The concept: instead of sound emerging from giant speakers, they come from thin, clear membranes that could completely redefine how you watch TV or use a computer.
The technology they’ve developed is nothing short of impressive. Dubbed “Edge Motion,” (the long form of Emo), the technology makes sound with sideways forces on an invisible membrane. This vibration creates a full range sound that, from our vantage point, isn’t distinguishable from even the regular speaker.
Here Jason Carlson, the CEO of Emo Labs, to give us a video demo. Be sure to have your audio on for the full effect:
More for audiophiles:
Woody Norris shows off two of his inventions that treat sound in new ways, and talks about his untraditional approach to inventing and education. As he puts it: "Almost nothing has been invented yet." So -- what's next?
