Abstract

The Internet of Things paradigm aims at developing new services through the interconnection of sensing and actuating devices. In this work, we demonstrate what can be achieved through the interaction between multiple sound devices arbitrarily deployed in space but connected through a unified network. In particular, we introduce techniques to realize a smart sound array through simultaneous synchronization and layout coordination of multiple sound devices. As a promising application of the smart sound array, we show that acoustic tracking of a user-location is possible by analyzing scattering waves induced from the exchange of acoustic signals between multiple sound objects.
