Hiroshi Sakai, CEO of NTT Sonority, a subsidiary of Japanese telecom behemoth, NTT, has been quietly working on two technologies that may become as ubiquitous as sound itself: Personalized Sound Zones (PSZ) and The Intelligent Microphone.
Together, they promise a previously unimaginable future: A world full of open soundwaves that are utterly confined to their source of emission--a single person.
With this technology in its embryonic stages, we seek to deliver a sonic embrace to the United States and then, the world: To share the vision of a more-connected society with present and future generations; letting humanity capture and coexist with the sonorous, digital sound that gives life meaning. Mr. Sakai talks with Michelle about these new headphones that enable you to hear those arund you while while listening to music or engaging in a business call.
