Well, welcome to the 21st century! Do you know what we do nowadays? We can literally take digital samples of sound waveforms, basically converting them into numbers that are encoded as light pulses that travel down a glass fiber! Then, at the other end, the pulses are decoded and converted to voltage levels that drive a speaker so that they can be heard! For real!! No, I'm not kidding!!! It is actually a very interesting technique!

This was a very popular project in many electronics magazines in the 70's and 80's. The transmitter was extremely simple. A small mirror was glued to the cone of a speaker. The receiver was a solar voltaic cell connected to the input of an amplifier/speaker. The project was conducted out of doors and the sun would be reflected onto the solar cell from a long distance using the speaker's mirror while audio was feeding the speaker. It worked quite well.

I'm only half way through the video so you may cover this, but, we've been doing stuff like this with lasers for quite a while. In fact, we have laser "microphones" that can be shined on a window of a building to record a conversation that is occurring in that room.

I had done something like this in the 1990s as a teen: driving an LED with a tape recorder's speaker output as a TX, and using another LED hooked to the microphone input of another tape recorder as the RX. They had to be facing one another very closely, but it worked 🙂

Oh wow me and my cousin did this in high school to prove light could carry other “information” on its waves. Cool to be seeing this on here.

But our eyes can indeed differentiate refresh rates (for animated scenes) much higher than 24Hz. There is a limit, I guess different from people to people, but it's higher.

@TheActionLab

The 23hz is about the rate we can distinguish individual flashes. We can see that the rate is increasing or decreasing much higher than this rate but we can’t necessarily distinguish the pulses. Basically this means that the old flash of light signal has not dissipated from your rods/cones before the new signal comes in. Below 23hz is where you can start to not have overlap between new and old signals.

Would have been nice if you included plans on how to build this device and how to wire the flashlight to produce this light music. I'm sure this technology must exist somewhere though already and you're just demonstrating how to reproduce the end results. I could have lots of fun with this.

Eyes (and brain) doesn't have a real refresh rate like for example screens and cameras. Your brain doesn't process your full field of view 23 times a second. In reality your eyes constantly picking up small details of what is in front you and your brain builds up a mental model and an image of your environment based on these small chunks of information, its memory, expectation, etc.. They say it has ~23 Hz because if something changes faster than this then the brain consider it as continuous movement. It can't distinguish between individual frames from this rate and above. That's why we can watch movies and videos. But the faster such a digital change is the more fluid it is preceived. This is why we can tell the difference between a 25fps and a 144 fps video.

Yes, kind of. The eyes themselves constantly receive light and transform it to electrical signal. So they don't have a refresh rate literally. Or we can call it infinite :) But they have kind of an inertia. It's called retinal persistence or persistence of vision. If you look into the flash of a camera in a dark room you can't see for a half second and even if you regain you vision you may see the afterimage of the flash overexposed on top of the image of the room for seconds. Most of the lightbulbs used nowadays are pulsating. Tipically at the frequency of the mains which is 60 or 50 Hz. Still, we see it a continuous light since our eyes averages out its peaks and troughs due to this retinal persistence. So it's not really a refresh rate but a constant stream of information with some "smoothing" . This is why we consider something as moving when we watch TV. Because our eyes (and brain) smooth out the sudden transition between frames. It's like when someone is talking in a large hall. Although you hear every word you also hear the echo of the previous word. The trick is: although our brain consider it as constant movement it still recognize its "jerkyness" just doesn't care. (If you think about it motion picture is pretty young compared to the evolution of human vision. So our brain is simply not adapted to frames. It simply does make sense to it and the closest thing to 25 different images in a second is actual movement. So it consider it as movement 😁 In reality we always trick and exploit our brain when we play games or watch movies. I hope it makes sense.

Mic to pick up sounds, circuit to convert sound to electricity and flashlight to flash the light at those specific frequencies. But like he said, our eyes can only refresh at around 23Hz, which means any frequency higher and it would look like a constant stream of light. But if we take our reverse-device and place it in front of his device, we will notice that the devices can pick it up. And maybe pick up a bit of delay, causing some noise and maybe that repeat effect in music with a much shorter delay, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Oooh, the possibilities!!!!!!!
