A TED talk has emerged, including a live demo of “The AlloSphere”, an ambitious 3D Virtual Environment space at the California NanoSystems Institute, UC Santa Barbara.
The AlloSphere space consists of a 3-story cube that is treated with extensive sound absorption material making it one of the largest anechoic chambers in the world. Standing inside this chamber are two 5-meter-radius hemispheres constructed of perforated aluminum that are designed to be optically opaque and acoustically transparent.
