Unfortunately once you touch this sort of high, the normal day job starts to looking boring.
But you inch closer towards a reality where there are alternatives to the boring normal day job
(Unless i missed some sort of karma/like/wow monetization :) )
Yay, a sound-field camera! I've been wondering if such things are made. Should I take the existence of this project as an indication that they aren't? The use case I imagine is finding what part of a machine is emitting a noise, much like how you would use a thermal camera for finding what part of it is running hot.
Awesome project! Nitpick; Duga 3 was never built. The one near Chernobyl is Duga 1.
Facepalm. Yep, somehow it got stuck in my memory as Duga-3. Something about the third prototype/iteration of the project? No idea by now...
But I didn't mean to detract, that's really a very cool project that you did!

Right on. Reminds me of Richard Feynman or Steve Wozniak, the way they just casually talk about taking things apart and putting things together while following a curiosity on an adventure. This is representative of the sort of ethos that drew everyone here in the first place, I think.

"Daredevil" as in vision through sound. Very neat project! I wonder how much people can see in the dark through listening to sound sources by moving their heads for motion parallax.

It’s amazing how much you can geolocate just in even a recording.

Not exactly unheard of, but quite rare. I found a company that made large arrays like that, but they seem to operate in near field, measuring only the sound volume. Imagine a wall of microphones next to a truck - you can tell which part of the wheel makes the sound. That sort of stuff. As for an actual "camera" that turns sound into an image - i've never heard of one.
I have. His name is Daniel Kish [1, 2].
Apparently his visual cortex has learned to process sound rather then light, so he literally sees, based on the sounds he is hearing.

So the goal now becomes to figure out how to minimize amount of time spent on the normal day job...
