Hi All,
Found this mic with laser pointing feature kind of interesting: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StarLight
Got me wondering about actual long distance sound transfer via laser and saw this :
Perhaps feasible technology to someday just aim "laser mic" at sound source from any distance and pull in sound via an invisible beam that might also track an audio subject's movements, keeping on-axis ? Currently not good for the an actors' eyeballs or camera sensor though. Boom operators might then be called sound snipers :-) Maybe heat seeking mics?
And this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_microphone
Cheers,
