    "description": "The Microphone is a directional condenser capsule mounted on the Turn Pike tablet head assembly within 40 centimeters of the driver window position, capturing the driver's voice and ambient transaction audio and transmitting it in real time to the operator's home audio system. A noise cancellation DSP stage filters the highway ambient noise floor before transmission, isolating speech frequencies so the operator hears the driver and not the truck behind them. The capsule is housed in a windscreen-fitted weatherproof enclosure rated for sustained wind and precipitation exposure. Gain is auto-adjusted for the distance between the capsule and the driver based on the arm extension position at the time of the interaction. A secondary omni capsule behind the main capsule captures the full booth ambient environment for the operator's VR spatial audio feed, so the operator hears what it sounds like to be there without the noise reduction applied, giving them the full sensory context of the toll booth experience from their couch, whether or not they wanted it.",
