Acoustic Holographic Recording and Reproduction System Using Meta Material Layers

A method of recording and creating holographic sound, comprising the steps of:

• receiving, into two microphones, sound reflected or refracted off a plurality of resonators;
• each said plurality corresponding to one of said two microphones;
• for each of said two microphones, and storing said output after applying a digital compression technique to said output to obtain acoustic holographic data associated with said sound;
• based, at least in part, on a distance between each resonator of said plurality of resonators to a corresponding said one of said microphones and a determined phase shift of at least some frequencies within said output for said corresponding said microphone, vibrating a plurality of piezo-drivers mounted on a sound reproduction device in a manner which at least partially recreates directionality of said sound reflected off said plurality of resonators in a manner which a position and direction of said sound being recreated is detectable.

A device for receiving and reproducing sound in three dimensions, comprising:

• a plurality of resonators, each which resonates at a different frequency, arranged in a substantially circular arrangement;
• a microphone situated between said plurality of resonators on at least one plane of a three dimension plane;
• a tangible storage medium storing a digital version of said sound after applying compressed sensing to output from said microphone;
• a plurality of piezo-drivers arranged equi-distant from a center point on a sound reproduction device playing back an uncompressed version of said output from said microphone with output to specific piezo-drivers of said plurality of piezo-drivers based on a determined phase shift of at least some frequencies within said output.
