Imagine wireless devices communicating with each other at frequencies higher than humanly audible? No, I don't mean radios. I mean some sort of "bot speak" that would allow for localized communication without an internet connection. Might be useful for researchers in the field without internet access. Could also be useful for business bots to host private conversations without adding to the chatter or needing access to private networks.

- niftich 10y agoIndeed. The same person who worked on the Chromecast implementation has a repo with some other examples of sonic networking: https://github.com/borismus/sonicnet.js https://github.com/borismus/sonicnet.js
- wmt 10y agoWhy not radios? I don't see any obvious benefits in using sound waves over the RF spectrum.
