This isn’t a Death Star model to head along with your AT-AT. What’s lurking behind this is a clue. Have you purchased it? It’s a legitimate system, only with a twist-it has 62 channels for 3D sound .
It’s from the Japanese National Institute of data and Communications Technology (NICT), a research firm that’s accountable for looking after Japan’s frequencies and time standards, and likewise tests marine radar and maritime safety systems. Amongst doing all those important deeds, they’ve obviously found the time to jump upon the 3D wagon, with this sound system it really is the first of its kind on earth today.
With 62 channels, the sound is meant to be an entire replica of the original audio, so you genuinely feel that the singer is true there inside the room with you. In 3D. It’s being shown off at CEATEC this week, and while it’s unlikely not to head on sale (especially outside of Japan) it’s fascinating to work out what technology is capable of. Don’t stop at 62 next time, NICT. [ NICT via Akihabara News ]
