While not a new concept, the VGHA, which merged out of work that was progressing on spatial hearing in the Psychoacoustics Laboratory at Boston University, Boston, is a prototype currently used for research that incorporates acoustic beamforming, a way of harnessing audio-frequency signals to focus amplification of a signal from a desired direction.
In this case, in the VGHA, the formed beam is manipulated....
