In any multi-speaker audio setup, the optimal listening position is located where incoming audio signals intersect, the so-called “sweet spot.” Phase Shift allows for automatic and real-time relocation of the sweet spot via lightweight position estimation using computer vision and audio beamforming through interference with a phased array of speakers.

Traditional wireless communication systems can be prone to interference in high EMI environments, such as industrial settings with high-power machinery or medical settings with sensitive test equipment.
Traditional wireless communication systems can be prone to interference in high EMI environments, such as industrial settings with high-power machinery or medical settings with sensitive test equipment.
Our project seeks to provide an alternative to laying fiber optics by using a much more resilient part of the spectrum - infrared. Using an FPGA-based modem, we adapt traditional RF modulation schemes, but using specialized amplifiers and an LED and photodiode instead of antennas, benefitting from EMI resilience and line-of-sight security..
