Futuristic audio device 'puts music in your head' by beaming sound directly to the listener without the need for headphones

An Israeli technology firm has debuted a new desktop device that beams sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones, like a personal sound bubble.

SoundBeamer 1.0 from Noveto locates and tracks the user's ear position, sending audio waves to create small pockets of sound waves.

The tech will allow office workers to listen to music or conference calls without interrupting colleagues and let anyone play a game, film or music minus headphones without it being heard by anyone else in the vicinity.

    And the Times suggests headphones may be on their way out. Instead, bubbles of sound could be beamed into the the area next to the ear.

    Sensors would track the person's position and emit ultrasonic waves in pockets of energy nearby.

    The technology would enable different passengers in a car to choose their own music, perhaps ending a few heated discussions.
