I just wanted to drop everyone a note and say thank you for making this project a success.  I have started ordering the custom components and will keep everyone updated on this projects progress.  Be sure to visit Soundlazer.com as I begin to post the final schematics, parts lists and all other important information.

I hope everyone enjoys experimenting with this new technology and look forward to seeing the types of projects that you guys come up with to further the advancement of ultrasonic audio.

Soundlazer is off to a good start but we have a long way to go.  I just want to say thank you to all the current backers and please be sure to post information about this project anywhere you can so it will be a success.

Here is a good article that was done by Mashable:

Gizmodo has a few ideas I didn't think of!

Private listening at your desk is a great idea.  Although I should warn you that the ultrasonic emitters do put out very high pressure waves so it would be best to bounce it off a wall or something and not point it directly at your ears unless it is a few feet away. The alarm clock idea was another excellent one.  Read the full story here:

    While we have done our best to get the cost of the Soundlazer down to the lowest amount possible, the ultrasonic transmitters and DSP are all expensive components. Pledges of $175.00 will receive a fully functional Soundlazer “kit”. Even though we are calling this a kit, it is actually a completely assembled and working Soundlazer without the aluminum case. All cables and power supply are also included. Shipping to US addresses is included.
