FOCUS INSTITUTS
Combined efforts from HES-SO Valais (Industrial Systems Institute) and Idiap improve the portability of Dev-Audio's microphone array device Dev-Audio is a startup founded by a former research scientist from Idiap, Dr Iain McCowan. It has developed an intelligent microphone for group conversations. From a single table-top unit, the product automatically outputs a separated high-quality audio track for each participant, together with timing and location information that indicates where and when each person is speaking. The goal of this project was to design a single device based on Dev-Audio's first prototype system, in order to improve portability. HES-SO successfully produced an initial electronic design that allows the audio streams to be transferred directly to a computer via a USB interface. In addition, Idiap customised its Speaker Verification software to accommodate the new design, allowing ready integration with Dev-Audio's software applications. This project was supported by the foundation The Ark. The first units based on the new design will be available for trials in the near future.
