- I believe Bush uses (advanced voice-to-skull) technology
in public. No one really knew what it could be used for. But to replace
a teleprompter or an earplug would be ingenious:
-
- Consider all his planned press conferences and any time
he speaks he stops "thinks", blinks, and looks away. Hmmm...it
appears that he's listening to something. Then he says the exact right
thing, completing a thought. He just doesn't act like he did before...

- Make sound fly overhead, swoop over your audience, or
whisper in one person's ear from tens of meters away. Project sound against
almost any object to create convincing virtual sources.

- Inventors of the new "ventriloquist" technology
say it could provide an added dimension to entertainment. The military,
however, is investigating using it to confuse opponents or even inflict
pain.

- American Technology recently signed an agreement with
the U.S. Army to develop the technology for a decidedly non-commercial
use: psychological warfare.
-
- According to American Technology CTO Jim Croft, the technology
could be used to confuse opponents by making them think there was someone
nearby. Small transmitters could be kept out of sight, and ghost sounds
could be bounced off "rocks or any reflective surface" to fool
people into believing they were not alone.
-
- American Technology is also working on a stronger version
of the technology called Directed Stick Radiator, Croft said. This "acoustic
assault rifle" is shaped like a gun, but instead of bullets, it dispenses
high-decibel sounds that would cause discomfort or even pain.
-
- Croft said the company is developing prototypes of the
debilitating weapon that could be mounted on a jeep and used for crowd
control. "It could be a very effective first-level deterrent,"
he said.

- Mysterious Sounds
-
- Apart from discreet communication systems and acoustic
assault rifles that the US Army is interested in, there is one really wild
application - Ventriloquist systems. By using tiny sound focusing devices
to beam out voices and having them scatter against rocks and natural obstacles
to the path, they can give the impression of the presence of people in
uninhabited places. Tricks of this sort are known as Psy-Ops - a short
form for Psychological Operations - that are used to fight a war of wits
against enemy troops.
-
- Again... Consider all his planned press conferences and
any time he speaks he stops "thinks", blinks, and looks away.
Hmmm...it appears that he's listening to something. Then he says the exact
right thing, completing a thought.

- The question is: who's on the other end? :)
