Microphone array for voice recognition.

Context

The client had purchased the rights to technology originally developed at Brown University for a microphone array. This stationary microphone array could track a person’s voice while they moved freely about the room. The client needed BCA to make the electronics ready for production, while significantly reducing cost.

Solution

BCA had aided Brown University in the original development of the hardware, and used its insight in a cost reduction exercise that effectively met the client’s business plan. BCA was able to take the experimental prototype and redesign it to fit into the confines of the industrial design. BCA also did functional testing of the board, as well as FCC compliance testing.
