Two years after moving to Berlin and joining Openismus, it is time for another big change. I learned a lot while at Openismus, and had a lot of fun both in and outside of working hours. Those of you who have been to the barbecue parties know what a great bunch of people they are. I’m very glad to see that they are now going strong again.
In December I will join Squarehead Technology in Oslo as a Software Developer. There I will work on their advanced microphone array systems for acoustic cameras and acoustical zoom. The role includes both real-time programming, digital signal processing of audio/video and embedded Linux, which is pretty much exactly what I was looking for.
Here is a very quick demo of the technology, used for noise analysis: Nor 848 video
The array microphone system records 200+ channels of audio simultaneously. By exploiting the time difference between channels, digital signal processing can extract and/or visualize audio content at different positions in the recording. This can be done both in real time, and in retrospect (unlike parabolic microphones).
Fun times ahead!
Wait, you’ll be using JACK? 🙂
Probably not. This is not exactly normal consumer systems 😉
Sounds cool, although I hate it when companies aren’t upfront about pricing, even if it’s high it’s better to have some reference.
I would love to see a more compact version of that, I bet everyone that has anything to do with sound would buy it if the price were right.
Wow, that sounds like a lot of interesting technology to work on, congrats and have a good start 🙂
Thanks!
I prefer transparency as well. But you can’t always have everything you want.
