Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone for Home Automation
For Voice control, it is usually impractical to have the user wear a headset or hold a handheld mic.
The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone is so sensitive, and its the sound quality is so good, that it provides headset/handheld mic accuracy at ranges of many feet, enabling voice control for home automation, robotics, etc.
The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone locates a talker and electronically steers a "listening beam," like an acoustic searchlight, in that direction. This creates spatial filtering; sounds and reverberation from other parts of the room are not picked up. In addition, digital noise reduction processing removes background noise. This two-stage noise reduction, coupled with the sensitivity of eight "always on" microphone elements, gives the Voice Tracker™ outstanding range and sound quality making it ideal for home automation.
