Voice Tracker Array Microphone

While I was doing some Google searches the other day, I came across a link to a developer who had put together a from-scratch voice recognition application for his pocket PC. I seem to be impressed by the spirit of curiosity in people that drives them to figures out how complicated things work, and so I sent him an email to tell him that I liked his project. I also mentioned in the email that I was interested in the field of voice recognition and specifically home automation. His response surprised me: He had just started working on the very same project!

He sent me a link to the Voice Tracker Array Microphone and it has been very eye opening. It's great to see an example of a company working on the very technology that I was reading about in a paper a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps this microphone would be capable of implementing far-field command and control ASR in a kitchen environment?
