Microphone assembly with multimodal interfaces and sensors

A microphone assembly, comprising:

• a first microphone capsule configured to generate a first capsule polar pattern;
• a second microphone capsule configured to generate a second capsule polar pattern, wherein the first microphone capsule and the second microphone capsule are each aligned relative to a first direction;
• a microphone control system configured to:
• receive a first audible signal from the first microphone capsule;
• receive a second audible signal from the second microphone capsule;
• and
• generate a microphone polar pattern based on a combination of the first capsule polar pattern and the second capsule polar pattern;
• one or more proximity sensors having a field-of-view that is aligned relative to the first direction, and the one or more proximity sensors are configured to detect an angular position relative to the first direction and distance of an object positioned within the field-of-view from the one or more proximity sensors;
• and
• a visual display system comprising a display that is configured to display a representation of the object.
