I remember seeing a device that would allow you to project your voice in a way that you could talk to someone from very far away and nobody but that person would hear it.

Nobody meaning due to location? Or due to some sort of encoding/decoding mechanism in the device?

All I could find was this: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5670...

I'm pretty sure it was a TED talk. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Seems to be projection, neat though. The Exploratorium in San Francisco has two benches set up that are shaped in a way to project sound, allowing you to have conversations at opposite sides of the building.
