- GenshoTikamura 1y agoA proper telescreen is not the one you watch and listen to, but the one that watches you and listens to you, %little_brother%
- jdranczewski 1y agoGood point, piezos do also generate voltages when deformed, so this could conceivably be run in reverse... Microphone arrays are already used for directional sound detection, so this could have fun implications for that application given the claimed density of microphones.
- nine_k 1y agoWould a piezo crystal, mounted behind a screen and the glass panel atop it, have enough sensitivity to capture recognizable speech?
- spookie 1y agoIf you put a dualsense controller atop of glass and send sound through it to the back-left or back-right channels (controls the haptics) you definitely hear it, so I presume yes.
- Nevermark 1y agoYou could likely do both at the same time. The "microphone" would be the measurement of interference between speaker demand and actual response.
- orbital-decay 1y agoTechnically yes, piezo cells are reversible, just like about anything that can be used to emit sound. You can use the array for programmable directionality as well.
