Home entertainment wizard Bose has a few tricks left up their sleeves, as can be seen from this recently released patent. Bose wants to use electroacoustical transducer technology to integrate a 5.1 surround sound system right into your seat.
The system would also allow for cellular devices to be embedded directly into your chair. The patent descirbes the product, “…an audio system includes an audio signal source having a plurality of audio channel signals including a surround channel signal; a seat having a seat back; an electroacoustical transducer mounted in the seat back; and electronic circuitry coupling the audio signal source and the electroacoustical transducer for transmitting the surround channel signal to the electroacoustical transducer.” — Andrew Dobrow
