A SMART SPEAKER THAT CAN SHOW AND TELL
Tune, a smart speaker reference product designed to be an integral rather than peripheral part of an environment. Tune demonstrates the power and flexibility of the ARTIK 7 module and the interoperability of the ARTIK Cloud. Tune’s circular OLED touchscreen, wheel, and voice UI enhance both the input and output of communication with users.
OBJECTIVE
Design a smart speaker that invites interaction and communicates intuitively with the user using the ARTIK platform
TAKING ANOTHER STEP
Tune V1 had distinguishable features such as rounded screen and wheel control to scroll through the interface and music, it was critical to transfer much features as possible to Tune V2. As Tune V1 proved the functionality and and good reference for user interaction, Tune V2 focused more into aesthetics to be more comfortable and friendlier to users.
MELTING INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
Tune V1 was heavily focused on metallic finishes and really highlighting it's presence within the environment. Tune V2 focused on having the theme to be truly belonging to today's modern home environment. Tune V2 aligns nicely with objects such as furnitures, wallpapers, lighting, and accessories in your home.
