Brought to my attention:
Repurposing an iPhone--or its equivalent--to be the sound unit.
In thinking about it:
1) The camera lens could be used as the sensor with the base image being a white field and the viewer stepping into its range and breaking the differential
2) The unit already contains a pre-amp and speaker hook-up
3) It can be programmed with an app
Issues:
1) Proprietary issues
2) Powering the unit; many microcontrollers require much less energy
3) Expense. Microcontrollers are in the $ 35 range, smart phones--even used ones--will run about
$ 100.
And, if I'm not running this remotely, I wonder if it's needed.
The original idea for a microcontroller with chip is most interesting since the unit is stand-alone and the chip could be added without additional programming.
