WΛLLTΞCH PHΛNTOM: Bone-Conduction BT Audio

pinshape

Music brings harmony to life. It gives voice to the universe, lift to the mind, freedom to the imagination, and joy to existence. Sound surrounds us always, an integral part of human experience. From our first memories of our mother's voice to Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 or the gentle flow of a forest stream, sound can move, captivate, and inspire greatness in those who witness its power. Unfortunately, whether through disabilities, illnesses, or accidents, some are closed off to a sense of sound, and kept from enjoying music and life's experiences. I'm driven to change that with the PHΛNTOM. The WΛLLTΞCH PHΛNTOM is a wireless audio device using bone-conduction technology to transfer sound vibrations directly to the listener's inner ear, enabling those with certain kinds of deafness, as well as those with full hearing capabilities, to hear 360º clear stereo with unobstructed ears. Many people I've talked to are very excited about what this open-source device could do for their child/father/mother/spouse, and I'm thrilled to apply my knowledge of electronics and design to create something that started out as an experiment in sound transmission and has evolved into a life-changing tool to unlock music and sound's power for those in desperate need. This project is a work in progress, so the transducer mounts are still under development. The device works as intended with some help positioning them.
