Ishin-Denshin
Ivan
Poupyrev is the inventor of this new product, Ishin-Denshin. What is it you may ask? Well it is a type of
microphone, but not just your standard microphone. This microphone works
through touch.
How Ishin-Denshin works is that a
person whispers into the microphone, which then transmits it into an electrical
signal. The person is now “charged” and
can touch another person’s earlobe. The
vibrations of this then provide the sound of what the original person was
saying, through touch, to the other person.
This
would provide good use to places such as Disney, that do storytelling and that
having an effect such as that would be useful to literally allow the people
there to feel the stories being portrayed.
What other places can you think of this type of new technology being
useful? Whether it be small scale, or large scale (Poupyrev is working on that.)
personally would find useful?
Here is
a link to the article, as well as a video showing how the microphone works.

One word: WOW! I had no idea how much our technology has advanced!! Your blog was very interesting and very well written!! Definitely a gold star!
ReplyDeleteI think this is an amazing invention, but I do not see much it could be used for. Unless they came up with a cool way to communicate with the deaf through vibrations. Plus you'll have a lot of people you don't really want going around touching your earlobes.
