Senior design project ideas F2020 Audio research group in CSL (https://go.illinois.edu/AugmentedListening) Postdoc Ryan Corey (corey1@illinois.edu) Professor Andy Singer (acsinger@illinois.edu) Funding available for some projects
Silent(ish) movement of mics and speakers We have a room that is 10 x 20 in CSL, in which we wish to make remote acoustic experiments possible through a web interface. We would like to have a way to move a mic or speaker along a path in the room. This could be accomplished with: A rail system like 3D printers use A robot arm with multiple degrees of freedom A system of reels and pulleys a.k.a. spidercam X-Y pulley plotter, or
Software-controlled physical sound sources Run real-time audio processing experiments/demos using live physical sound sources instead of recordings played through speakers Several sound-making objects controlled simultaneously using software Telephones, appliances, alarms, fans, instruments, toys, vehicles, etc. Make a robotic orchestra out of household objects!
Help people hear through masks Problem: listeners with hearing loss can t understand people with masks (distance + muffled sound + no lipreading) Existing solutions like clear masks and wearable amplification systems must be used by the talker Design a solution for the listener to better hear strangers, e.g. customers in a store Should work with social distancing and require no touching by talker Should be easy to use, low cost, easy to produce ?
