wow... I thought this was going to be a big ass gun that scared people when I saw "STFU - Gun." I was wrong. Its a STFU-Gun!
On a serious note, we used to pull this gag in the studio. Add a few milliseconds of latency delay into the headphone track, and the singer will go WAAAY off key, start stuttering, and then just be unable to keep time and sing. Its pretty funny. Try it in TS. Have a friend put their mic sort of close to their speakers and go hot on the mic, but say nothing. Then, a second person with a headset should start talking. Their speech will feed through everyone's speakers normally, but will also feed back into the positioned mic and back into the the original talker's headphones. Its damn near impossible to talk when you hear yourself speaking in delay. Its pretty funny for everyone involved.
Ya, happens on vent when getting interference. But ya, it's hard to hear yourself and talk at the same time.
Yup, definitely see this type of technology being used in the worst of ways... What else is knew with Human Nature.
According to the article and other articles, it will be used in places like a library where you are supposed to be quiet, court rooms, etc...
Leave it to the Japanese to invent a real world mute button. I'll die laughing if it's marketed in the states for use on children...and congress.
