Gesture-Controlled Round Speakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Habits Studio Designed the Intuitive New OSOUND XLl

— March 14, 2018 — Tech
Milan-based design label Habits Studio introduced the OSOUND XL as the newest addition to its OSOUND speaker series. Speakers are often imagined to be an inconspicuous technological device within homes, but Habits reimagines this concept. The OSOUND XL doubles as a design accessory, mounted on a wall to make a loud statement, demanding to be both heard and seen.

The new OSOUND XL is controlled by gestures and has a light-up LED ring and volume controls placed at the front panel. The new speaker is an enlarged version of the original OSOUND and is constructed in Italy. The OSOUND XL is crafted from a blend of wood, acrylic glass and PC-reinforced by fiberglass, wrapped with an acoustic fabric. The speakers function through a Bluetooth 4.0 connection and produce sound through a 250W Class D amplifier, 4" midrange, 1″ tweeter and 8″ subwoofer.
Trend Themes
1. Gesture-controlled Speakers - Incorporating gesture control technology in audio devices to enhance user experience.
2. Design-driven Audio Devices - Creating audio devices that blur the line between technology and home decor.
3. Smart Home Audio - Developing audio devices that can be integrated with smart home systems for seamless automation.
Industry Implications
1. Audio Technology - Opportunity for audio tech companies to incorporate gesture control technology and design-driven concepts in their products.
2. Home Decor - Opportunity for home decor companies to expand into the audio market by creating design-driven audio devices.
3. Smart Home Automation - Opportunity for smart home companies to integrate audio devices with their systems to provide a holistic home automation experience.
