SonicSurface: DIY ultrasonic phased array for levitation, haptics, and directive audio

Ғылым және технология

Do you want to build an integrated 256-channels ultrasonic array? It can be used for acoustic levitation, haptic feedback, directional audio and other cool ideas that you have in mind. We show example applications and how to assemble the array.

    Its not to late yet. I started the engineering university the year I filled 40. And I was sure that I was going to be the oldest in class. I was not. No the oldest person in my is was 77 years old. He did not dolt for a career, but to keep his memory working. He did not do the final exam to get the completion of the course because he do not want to work as an engineer. In stead he started down the next five year program....

    That's what brought me here, I'm interested in the idea of using ultrasound for haptic feedback in VR. I envision something similar to your cube, six panels all facing the user from every axis, generating... whatever. Rain, wind, acceleration and g-forces for flying and racing sims, ground textures from the floor panel like grass, a rug, maybe water--imagine playing Kayak VR: Mirage and being able to reach down and dangle your hands in the water. The video title mentions haptics but the actual video, disappointingly, only focuses on levitation.

Did you ever look into using the HV582, HV583, or HV57708, as a driver chip to drive many transducers in a single package?

    The focal point is quite big (around 6mm diameter) but you can position it with high accuracy. I would say repositioning error should be below 0.05mm but I have never measured that. Absolute error will be higher since there will be reflections with the environment and other external affectors. In Page 7 there are some measurements but of a smaller system static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fncomms9661/MediaObjects/41467_2015_BFncomms9661_MOESM593_ESM.pdf

    A lot of patience went into this, but very impressive results. How much energy / acoustic force is required to levitate x amount of mass? With more powerful transducers, theoretically it should be possible to levitate more massive objects, but am wondering how far this experimentation has gone in that direction. Excellent demonstration of the phased array concept, and utilizing an FPGA to actually "steer" the array focal point(s).

    Very cool project, now I understand why Sci Fi characters spend so much time calibrating various arrays, LOL. You could achieve a better packing density of transducers using a hexagonal array, what would be the benefits of this, I wonder, compared with the costs of doing so. I imagine better density would allow for levitation of bigger stuff, maybe higher distance. Accuracy, too? It would increase cost of the hardware, due to more transducers, at least, would the circuit board be complicated? I suppose if the transducer density did not allow for enough space for the back-mounted per-transducer components. What about the software complexity, as the array is no longer rectangular, I imagine it would be easiest to map a rectangular array to the transducers, would that be the way you would handle it? Again, fascinating project.
