The Soundcam is an extraordinarily high-tech sound imaging camera that doesn't simply capture snaps, but is actually capable of helping you to visualize sound.
This imaging camera comes equipped with 64 distinct microphones, a conventional camera and a high-tech artificial intelligence algorithm that is more than capable of taking data from the microphones in order to ascertain where sound is coming from, before translating this data into a visual form to be displayed on the camera's viewing screen.
While this sound imaging camera may sound like an impressive gimmick at first, the fact of the matter is that this device stands to have a number of applications that can range from finding leaks in pipes to monitoring the position of drones.
