Ep111: 3D Graphics are Ultrasonic, Lobotomizing Alexa, 3D-Printing Leaky Rockets, and Gaming the Font System

from Hackaday Podcast · host Hackaday

Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams curate a week of great hacks. Physical displays created in 3D space are a holy grail, and you can make one with 200 ultrasonic transducers, four FPGAs, and a lot math. Smart speakers have one heck of a microphone array in them, it's yours for the hacking if you just roll your own firmware. Hobby servos can be awful, but this week we saw they can be made really great by cracking open the DC motor to add a simple DIY position sensor. And lasers are making their way into car headlights; we illuminate the situation in this episode. Check out the show notes!
