It&nbsp;targets&nbsp;industry, maintenance and smart city applications as its smart cameras are able to detect where sound is coming from.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to make sound visible to people and we thought it could be cool to do that through a spectral zebra crossing. People can see it in combination with lights, and there&#8217;s no better opportunity than during GLOW to do that\u201d, says Bart Vaes, marketing &amp; sales team lead for&nbsp;Sorama.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interacting with sound&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;Sorama\u2019s acoustic camera points at the zebra crossing from one side of the street. It is connected to a laser projector \u2013 which is provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saharabenelux.nl\/\">Sahara Benelux <\/a>\u2013 that has the crosswalk as its projection filter.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sorama @ GLOW\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/id53zKdctTg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pedestrians can visualize the sound in three different ways. A decibel meter shows how loud the sound is while moving up and down on the zebra crossing. The equalizer displays how high or low the tone is. The third visualization is called \u2018move your sound\u2019, as noise follows visitors when they walk over the zebra crossing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sorama @ GLOW II\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UryhhhUyjvU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe system has 64 acoustic micro-cameras that can &#8216;listen&#8217; to the environment. They are capable of telling exactly how much sound there is and where&#8221;, Vaes adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raising awareness on noise pollution&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorama&nbsp;received a lot of positive feedback for its set-up because it enables interaction with both light and sound, but there is more to it than that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eea.europa.eu\/articles\/noise-pollution-is-a-major\"> European Environment Agency <\/a>calculated that long-term exposure to noise leads to 12,000 premature deaths in the continent. In this respect, the project also aims to raise awareness about sound pollution.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaes: \u201cKids and adults like it a lot because they get to scream as loud as they can. However, we want to raise awareness about noise and its impact. It can have a negative impact on your health. This way, people can see how noise can be visualized and think about the impact it can have on their own daily life.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The set-up is located on&nbsp;Achsteweg&nbsp;Zuid 153H, Eindhoven and can be visited every day from 6:30 pm until Sunday.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><em><strong>Find out more about Sorama <a href=\"https:\/\/innovationorigins.com\/en\/a-better-sounding-world-with-soramas-acoustic-cameras\/\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>City streets are full of noise, but what if we could visualize that?&nbsp;Sorama&nbsp;&#8211;
