Boom Boom
Mathieu Lehanneur has designed a wireless, interactive speaker that promises to evolve over time
The amount of time before it becomes outdated is one of the most frustrating aspects for someone buying a new piece of technology. Mathieu Lehanneur took this into consideration when creating the Boom Boom for Binauric, a wireless speaker that evolves over time. It comes with an accelerometer, light sensors and microphones, all components that allow the device to take on new features as they are developed. Lehanneur describes these features as "sleeping components", "waiting to be woken up."
Speaking in several languages, the compact polygonal speaker incorporates a human voice-over, a touchpad for managing volume and fifteen hours of playback. Its sleek facade is complimented by a headphone cord that also acts as a handle. It is compatible with all smartphones and computers, prepared for additional features such as an app-controlled recording, allowing users to record voices and environmental sounds. User response is a popular subject within design and technology at the moment. We recently saw the Aether Cone, a speaker which predicts what kind of music you like and also the Gramofon, a stand-alone router which allows multiple users to add songs to one playlist. For Binauric, their main aspiration is the dictation of their customers on what the device should be able to do now and in the future.
