Is there a better way to deliver messages to a crowd than through the typical loudspeaker system? What if you want to give them individual messages.
It appears there is, and there are many strategies for this.
I'd like to suggest a new potential strategy and theory, along with a new innovation which is being adapted to solve the same problem.
Let's talk.
You see, there was an interesting article on GizMag titled; "Computer-manipulated speech could lead to quieter public announcements," published on September 10, 2013 by Ben Coxworth which stated; "When people are able to understand spoken messages in noisy environments, they're not necessarily hearing everything.
Instead they pick up on the components that are the easiest to hear, and deduce the words and sentences based on that.
Now a mathematical computer program synthetically enhances those components so they stand out from the background noise.
When tested, it was found that spoken messages manipulated by the program could be clearly understood at a volume up to five decibels lower than would otherwise be possible.
" Well, this is exactly how it works in the brain.
Visual acuity is very similar.
Your mind looks at an object, and then the memory frame bursts that object so you can make sense of it wall your eyes then focus on that particular object.
It's more efficient for the brain to do this, using up less energy.
Remember biological systems are extremely efficient next evolution.
Scientists now use quite a bit of bio mimicry to copy what the brain does so well.
In understanding this it also helps us work with the brain on its level.
The mind does the same thing with listening to music of a new song that you don't know.
Not all the words can be heard exactly perfectly over the music, but your mind tries to fill in the blanks, sometimes it makes comical errors.
Of course, it does a pretty good job, and better than Siri on your iPhone, I'm sure you'll agree.
Interestingly enough, the mind also listens when things are at a lower volume, when it hears whispering, it tries to focus very acutely as it tries to make sense of it all, in essence you are forcing the mind to focus on a particular sound and block out the others, something it is pretty good at.
What if we had a system that an airport which triangulated where everyone was based on an active matrix RFID tag on their boarding pass? As long as they had that boarding pass, the system could send the sound to only those people in a very low voice, almost a whisper focusing on their waist up.
This way if they were sitting down they'd hear it, or if they were standing up they would hear it also.
For more enclosed areas such as bathrooms you could pipe in the entire message over a speaker, albeit at a reduced volume.
Please consider all this and think on it.
