Take a Google virtual tour of 1871, a digital startup incubator inside Chicago's Merchandise Mart. The facility is outfitted with numerous sound dome directional speakers to keep audio focused to specified zones. Techvibes describes the application:
“Four screens along the wall invite passers-by to stop and experience each unique installation: Soundscapes emit from overhead domes paired with images on the screen, immersing the viewer in a different reality. A surprisingly quiet collaboration space overlooks the stairwell where teams breakout to enjoy the natural night.”
