Auditory Avian Observation Devices

The 'Terra' Bird Watching Device Listens for Nearby Wildlife

— June 11, 2021 — Tech
Observing the wildlife in an outdoor space can be a difficult task that requires a keen eye and patience, so the 'Terra' bird watching device has been developed to help make the process a bit easier for avid birders.

The device works by being positioned in a backyard or any outdoor space and will go to work with a series of microphones inside to listen for nearby birds. The sound ID technology within will help to recognize the various birds or animals that are nearby and alerts the user to take a peek from their window.

The 'Terra' bird watching device will link up with other units on the network to allow users to enjoy the sounds of various locations around the world at their leisure.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Listening Devices - Developing smart listening devices can help outdoor enthusiasts identify and enjoy wildlife while minimizing disturbance.
2. Sound ID Technology - Incorporating sound ID technology into various devices can help identify different forms of outdoor wildlife such as birds or animals.
3. Global Network Access - Connecting listening devices to a global network will allow bird-watchers to enjoy the sounds of various locations around the world at their leisure.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Equipment - Incorporating smart listening devices into outdoor equipment such as binoculars or cameras can offer additional value to customers.
2. Wildlife Tourism - Developing sound identification technology in the context of wildlife tourism can help tourists learn about the wildlife in a safe and enjoyable manner.
3. Biodiversity Conservation - Incorporating global network access into sound listening devices can help conservationists monitor wildlife around the world and identify areas in need of conservation efforts.
