- "This work uses computer-designed acoustic metamaterials to bend sound around obstacles. For the first time, a hybrid system combining an acoustic hologram and phased array of transducers (PAT) is used to move shapes made of sound in mid-air. This paper pushes the limits of PATs, which are ubiquitous in haptics, modern sound delivery systems and sound-based interaction devices. Applications include advanced sound management and may lead to new versions of surround-sound. The study has been described as a “breakthrough” [1] and has featured in popular magazines [2]. Field-weighted citation impact 4.31 (Scopus) and Altmetric score 22.
