Polyus is an omnidirectional speaker that allows multiple listeners to perceive different sounds from the same source simultaneously. Using Polyus, sounds can be positioned in specific areas of a room that will be only perceived by the listener in the area that a sound is assigned to. The system consists of three core components: the “Acouspade”, a directional speaker which can focus sound into a narrow beam, a reflector redirecting the sound while spinning at high velocity and a LIDAR (light detection and ranging) sensor tracking the visitor’s position. It allows the creation of nonlinear, spatial compositions through which the audience can move, rather than perceiving it on a timeline. The system is also intended to test our ability to orient ourselves using our hearing.
