Tired of disposable, designed-for-obsolescence gadgetry?
One company is looking to challenge that conception.
Known as Binauric, theyve designed a speaker which they claim is capable of evolving alongside its user.
In other words, its a piece of audio equipment which could potentially stave off obsolescence forever.
We always felt that hardware was missing this evolutionary factor, explained Markku Palipea, Binaurics co-founder.
So in the beginning we asked ourselves what potentially could a speaker be capable of?'
EnterBoom Boom, a polygon-shaped speaker dreamed up by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur.
What makes it unique is what else it ships with.
This includes hardware like an accelerometer, microphones, and light sensors.
Lehanneur describes them as sleeping components waiting to be unlocked.
Instead, its hoping that its users will dictate how the platform evolves over time.
Eventually, the team predicts that Boom Boom might even be used to make music through its on-board accelerometer.
