S5: selective sensing of single sound sources

The sense of hearing provides humans with information about their surroundings and is the primary means of communication, yet it is limited in its ability to focus on particular stimuli. To provide this ability, we designed and built S5, a mobile proof-of-concept prototype that allows Selective Sensing of Single Sound Sources. Our design consists of a head-mounted directional microphone attached to a smart-phone, which acts as controller, filter and amplifier. Users hear the selective signal through headphones and activate the device by touching their ear. To evaluate this sensory augmentation, we conducted a study with 16 participants that showed the system was appealing and perceived as useful. Based on our findings, we conclude that the proposed augmentation is feasible and we provide insights for further development of the concept.
