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.SoundBeamer beams music and sound straight into the ear without the need for headphones.

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.
