Abstract

A method of capturing audio includes initiating capture, at a laser microphone, of first audio of an area of interest. The first audio is captured while the laser microphone is focused on a first target surface associated with the area of interest. The method also includes generating adjustment parameters based on a feedback signal to adjust targeting characteristics of the laser microphone. The method further includes adjusting the targeting characteristics of the laser microphone based on the adjustment parameters to focus the laser microphone on a second target surface associated with the area of interest. The method also includes initiating capture, at the laser microphone, of second audio of the area of interest in response to adjusting the targeting characteristics. The second audio has an audio quality that is greater than the first audio.
