AI headphones create a 'sound bubble,' quieting all sounds more than a few feet away
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/11/241114161302.htm
Summary:
Researchers have created a headphone prototype that allows listeners
to hear people speaking within a bubble with a programmable radius of 3 to 6 feet.
Voices and sounds outside the bubble are quieted an average of 49 decibels,
even if they're louder than those in the bubble.
