New speech-jamming gun hints at dystopian Big Brother future


www.extremetech.com
Japanese researchers have created a hand-held gun (pictured above) that can jam the words of speakers who are more than 30 meters (100ft) away. The gun has two purposes, according to the researchers: At its most basic, this gun could be used in libraries and other quiet spaces to stop people from speaking — but its second application is a lot more chilling.

Suffice it to say, if you’re a firm believer in free speech, you should now be experiencing a deafening cacophony of alarm bells. Let me illustrate a few examples of how this speech-jamming gun could be used.

computer software can simulate this very easily.

just your pc soundcard...a mike and a speaker..

just delay the output by about 0.2 seconds from the input audio.

i have done so easily using audacity.

Man, this is totally not true. I have been dealing with recording latency (due to sound card audio buffering) for over 15 years and it just throws you off of your thoughts. Just like a delay on a phone which happens all the time.

How are you going to delay the person's ear from hearing their own voice on time and that's what would be required, not a mic and a speaker. Gimme a break. All that will do is amplify them, with a delay.. so EVERYBODY will hear them. It's a voice amp weapon, instead of a silencer. HAHA...

Critical thinking folks.. it's not that difficult.
