Revealing the last to speakers for #btconf Düsseldorf. Starting with Katerina Kamprani. A designer, who designs … well … uncomfortable things. Why? She is gonna tell you at the festival! https://beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusseldorf-2025/speakers/katerina-kamprani

beyond tellerrand EventsKaterina Kamprani is speaking at beyond tellerrand 2025 in DüsseldorfKaterina Kamprani is an artist and architect who balances humour, art, and design to challenge everyday functionality. Through her project The Uncomfortable, she reimagines familiar objects with intentional impracticality — chairs that cannot be sat on, glasses that cannot be used, and watering cans that defy their purpose. By distorting everyday items, she invites viewers to experience frustration, amusement, and curiosity, questioning their relationship with design.

Build a Parametric Speaker of Your Own.

At the Hacker Hotel conference in the Netherlands, [Orange_Murker] presented an ultrasonic parametric speaker. It projects an extremely narrow beam of sound over a significant distance, but it’s not an audio frequency speaker at all.

https://github.com/Orange-Murker/parametric_speaker

The loudspeaker on your home entertainment equipment is designed to project audio around the space in which it operates, if it’s not omnidirectional as such it can feel that way as the surroundings reflect the sound to you wherever you are. Making a directional speaker to project sound over a long distance is considerably more difficult than making one similar to your home speaker.

[ImageSource: Orange_Murker]

Those of you familiar with radio will recognize its operation; an ultrasonic carrier is modulated with the audio to be projected, and the speaker transfers that to the air. Just like the diode detector in an old AM radio, air is a nonlinear medium and it performs a demodulation of the ultrasound to produce an audio frequency that can be heard.

[Orange_Murker] spends a while going into modulation schemes, before revealing that she drove her speaker with a 40 kHz PWM via an H bridge. The speaker itself is an array of in-phase ultrasonic transducers, and she demonstrates the result on her audience.

Do great speakers just provide a better emotional experience? How much have you learned from presentations, compared to interactive workshops?
