Audio Spotlight, The
By: Youngme E. Moon
Abstract
Joe Pompei, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab, has invented a breakthrough audio invention. The invention is an "Audio Spotlight" that projects a narrow beam of sound in the same way a laser beam projects a narrow beam of light. He must now decide how to commercialize the technology. He has narrowed down the commercial possibilities to four markets: the autosound market, the professional audio market, the interactive kiosk market, and the home audio market.
