I work in this area.

There's a huge runway in front of us for both products and technology.

'Acoustic Holography' has worked for some time, commercial implementations have been few and far between, mostly because what's in the market is already selling boatloads without it.

It'll come eventually, there are a few groups dedicated to it.

A successful anchor in that space will allow companies to go deeper into applications.

Acoustic room splitting, Silence on demand, etc.

Sounds very interesting! Could you direct the interested to your favorite review article or another starting point?
An implementation or variation on this theme is surely the future of in-room audio:

The math says, if implemented correctly, WFS is better than sitting in the sweetspot of any speakers. Also, there's no sweet spot with this technology.
