This device is used for determining the location of people walking around a directional loudspeaker array; beams of sound can be steered in realtime towards individuals as they move through the installation space.

Design

  • 10-element circular array (one every 36 degrees) of medium range IR sensor GP2Y0A02YK, 20-150 cm operating range.
  • 500mA / 5V external power supply
  • Tensioning system for installation around a pole (rubber bands)
  • Wiring interface uses prototyping area on the CUI
