The upcoming talk by Prof. Sriram Subramanian from UCL

Multi-sensory displays using Acoustophoresis
Abstract:
In this seminar, I will share our research on using acoustophoresis and holography to deliver novel multi-sensory experiences to users without the need for wearable or head-mounted displays. By shaping wavefronts using principles of acoustic holography and controlling tiny speakers with user-inspired heuristics, we deliver compelling haptic experiences, and creates 3D shapes floating in mid-air that can be seen and felt. Acoustophoresis enables volumetric displays via levitation and movement of tiny objects in mid-air at a high frequency to form floating 3D shapes and has been combined with the delivery of parametric audio and haptic or even smell sensations. In all these scenarios, users do not have to touch or hold any device to experience these sensations.

Biography: Sriram Subramanian is a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies at UCL (UK) and has previously held faculty positions at University of Sussex (UK), University of Bristol (UK), and University of Saskatchewan (Canada). With a background in physics, electrical engineering, and industrial design, Sriram's research is interdisciplinary and aims to create magical experiences by combining technology and people. In 2013, he co-founded Ultrahaptics (now Ultraleap) to commercialize his mid-air haptic technology. In 2016, he won the Colin-Campbell Mitchell award for outstanding contributions to Engineering and in 2022 recognised with the ACM’s Distinguished Member award.
