More On Gunshot Detection
from the there-are-ears-above-you dept
Joe Schmoe writes in with a link that is basically a followup story to a story we had a few months ago about remote sensors that can be used to detect the location of gunshots. The idea is for police or military uses, but I can see how it could easily be expand in the same way that security cameras work. Forget security cameras, why not get security "ears"? Pop in some voice recognition, and you could catch people on the street just talking about the crimes they plan to commit.

Or sound generators
Sense of touch is a fascinating thing. We all have hundreds of micro-perceptions of touch that most of us ignore. I'm a contact juggler and feel like I've enhanced this aspect of our existence.

Already used in military
The .50 cal turret uses small mics to pinpoint the source of gunshots. When activated, the system automatically aims the turret and gun towards the sound and fires a few rounds without any manual action taken by the soldier manning the gun.
