A Pioneering Yorkshire firm has invented an invisible sound system which is set to revolutionise audio technology.
FeONIC, a spin-out company from Hull University, designed the F-Drive, which is capable of turning almost any surface into a high-quality loudspeaker.
The company also came up with the Whispering Window, which uses glass panes as speakers.

hey jef, long time no see... there's a kid toy version of this called the soundbug... doesn't sound very good. Hopefully this sounds better...

That would be freaky on any drug if a window started whispering to me

i imagine the resonant properties of the material would be a major factor in how good it sounds... haven't heard the sound bug but i almost bought them. i figured that if they were the miracle app for cool speakers they would be a lot more popular!
the density and resonant properties of whatever surface you choose are the major factors.
it would be interesting to se how hard you could drive a whispering window.. i wonder if it would be possible to shatter the glass??

the fact that it is a 'yorkshire company' worries me most. no offence to anyone from yorkshire, but thought it was all about tea, bread and biscuits up there? ;)

badass, I want one to turn my ceiling into a speaker to disturb my annoyingly loud upstairs neighbors by playing the huey lewis quote from "back to the future".

years from now, a teenager becomes the first perv to play house music through his penis as a form of acoustic masturbating

Oh man, how great would it be to bring something like this on the road, and just hook up to a wall or the floor where you wanted to play. want!
