Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.

This Monday, he is interested in loudspeakers which direct the sound only towards our ears.

This invention makes it possible to listen to music without headphones and without disturbing those around us.

A surprising innovation this morning.

There are now speakers that direct sound only to our ears.

As a result, we will be able to listen to music without headphones and without disturbing those around us.

It's hard to believe: you put your phone on the table.

You put it on speakerphone.

But only you hear it.

You can move, stand or move, the sound from the speaker will come directly to your ears and no one else's.

It works with a camera that follows your face, locates the position of your ears and sends a directional sound trickle at their level so that only you can hear it.

No need to wear headphones or earphones.

In addition, we are not locked up.

We will continue to hear what is happening in the room.

What is that ?

An accessory that you plug into your phone? 

Not necessarily.

As it is the loudspeaker that integrates the camera, it fits everywhere: on TVs, car dashboards (only the driver will hear the GPS indications).

It is a technology developed by the Israeli company Noveto.

They also market a speaker that sends the music only around your ears at 360°, a totally immersive sound.

Unfortunately, this only works, for now, with one person.

But, in principle, this number should be able to increase with a future model equipped with several cameras.

It could also be useful in museums.

We would have the explanations of the work simply by positioning ourselves in front of it.

It's true.

Technology is of great interest to professionals.

The German company Holoplot have, for example, equipped cinemas and nightclubs with it.

They no longer just target ears, but entire areas of a room.

Suddenly, at the Cinema, some rows will hear the film in VO and the others in VF.

And when the nightclubs reopen, we'll finally be able to talk to each other without screaming.

The music will be full on the dance floor and very soft everywhere else.

A great innovation that we can't wait to see spread.
