Abstract

An apparatus includes a reflector, a microphone coupled to the reflector, laser emitters coupled to the reflector, and a laser range finder coupled to the reflector. The laser range finder is configured to output a signal indicative of a distance between the reflector and an object. The apparatus adjusts a position and/or a power level of the laser emitters based on the distance between the reflector and the object. Additionally or alternatively, the apparatus adjusts a position and/or a power level of the laser emitters based on a type of sound waves. Laser beams of light emitted by the laser emitters visually indicate a region in which a source of detected sound waves is located.
