I’d like a way to be able to listen/watch something as loud as I want without worrying about waking anybody or having to wear headphones…I’m up pretty late lmao

I guess you could wall-mount an array and aim it with lidar and facial recognition or a little QR sticker on your forehead

Didn’t Fry’s in Sunnyvale have a bunch of these… probably not with metasurface technology though… I bet this will work much better!
