MYERS LABORATORIES IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A NEW DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY, KNOWN AS AIRBATS(TM) - AIRCRAFT BINAURAL AUDITORY TRACKING SYSTEM. AIRBATS(TM) UTILIZES THE HUMAN AUDITORY SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO LOCALIZE THE DIRECTION AND DISTANCE OF A SOUND SOURCE. MYERS LABORATORIES' AIRBATS(TM) TECHNOLOGY WILL MIMIC THE HUMAN AUDITORY LOCALIZATION SYSTEM, BY COMPUTER EMULATION OF THE NATURAL BINAURAL AUDITORY SIGNAL PROCESSING (BIONIC EMULATION). THE RESULTING AIRBATS(TM) TECH NOLOGY WILL BE IN THE FORM OF A BLACK BOX, WHICH CAN PROCESS, UNDER COMPPUTER CONTROL, ANY INPUTTED ELECTRONIC SOUND AND "PLACE" THE LOCATION OF THE SOUND OUT AROUND THE OBSERVER, AT ANY SPECIFIED POINT IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE. AIRBATS(TM) WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A NEW TYPE OF AVIONICS INFORMATION DISPLAY. THE INFORMATION DISPLAY WILL EXPLOIT THE HUMAN AUDITORY PERCEPTUAL SYSTEM, RATHER THAN THE OVERLY TAXED VISUAL PERCEPTION SYSTEM. IN AN AIRCRAFT, THIS MEANS THE MORE INFORMATION CAN BE PERCEIVED AND COMPREHENDED BY THE PILOT'S BRAIN AT ANY ONE TIME - RESULTING IN SUPERIOR MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE. DURING THE PHASE I AWARD, MYERS LABORATORIES WILL PROVIDE AUDITORY PROOF THAT SOUNDS CAN BE ARTIFICALLY PROCESSED AND DISPLAYED THREE-DIMENSIONALLY AND THAT IT IS FEASABLE TO CREATE THE AIRBATS(TM) AVIONICS DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY.
