I Could Have So Much Fun With One of These

This insanely cool contraption can take sound and modify it in a highly directional fashion so that it can’t be heard in transit to a target, and then when it hits a human it sounds as if it’s coming from inside their own head. And nobody else can hear it. It “encodes” before leaving, and “decodes” when it hits the person (not really, but that’s my description).

It’s called HyperSonic Sound, or HSS. And a company called American Technology Corporation (ATC) has many patents on some devices that can do it. So a few things come to mind:

• Target church people with satanic or God messages as they leave the church, as a joke.
• Target church people with donation messages, as a crooked preacher trying to get rich.
• Pointing it at people within specific parts of the church during a sermon, “I know what you did Friday.”
• Targeted advertising based on profiling of visual appearance.

Oh, and from the article, there are already military applications where you can incapacitate people through pain and nausea using it as a weapon. So I guess crowd control can be added to the list.

What other applications can you think of?
