HONDA The Power of Dreams

Through its Honda Xcelerator program, Honda is working with Vocal Zoom to apply its optical microphone technology to the in-car experience. By reading physical vibrations generated from the speaker’s voice, Vocal Zoom’s optical sensor ascertains additional layers of voice data not attainable by traditional acoustic mics alone.  This additional information significantly increases an onboard computers’ understanding of voice commands, especially in harsh-noise environments.
