> $500k Are you kidding me???! It costs so... so... so... much less. I thought automotive might be a good application, considering all the doors opened by using more DSP tricks layered in addition to source localization. (I can localize coherent sound patterns s well as coherent sound) I would love to chat with you, happy to buy a coffee or beer for your time. My email's on my profile.

Some of these devices for automotive are large enough to surround a car on 3-4 sides, with several hundreds of microphones and the associated cables and positioning arms. Depending on where the devices he mentioned are being used, there are things like mannequins with heads and models of how humans hear for identifying sources inside a car. Here's an article about a large installation at Porsche. https://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=18378 https://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=18378

HRTF stuff is fun, if that's what you're referring to! :) I've worked with some of that stuff before, including the stupidly overpriced mannequin heads. > Some of these devices for automotive are large enough to surround a car on 3-4 sides, with several hundreds of microphones and the associated cables and positioning arms.

Do you work in a field that would benefit from the same results, for a fraction of the cost? Or, if not, do you have any advice on how to find and talk to these mythical industries that could pay me? It looks like Porsche wanted to build their own, in house, but I'm hoping if it costs less than a tenth as much, maybe more people would want one.

      Please do!!! I spent about 10 years of my life obsessed with this problem/area of research, and, when I have ability to pay rent and eat, it's the problem I'll go back to.
