The Spica Speaker was designed by Yuki Tamamoto and is a speaker that not only plays music the regular way, it also lets you see the music. Don’t get too excited though as the gadget is just a concept at the moment.
The Spica Speaker can be looked at as a lava lamp / speaker setup that has water, light and some sort of gel that responds to the music allowing you to also watch the music as well. [click to continue…]
FleXpeaker is a flexible speaker that can be bent to a certain point without distorting the audio being produced by it.
It was created by a company called ITRI that are based in Taiwan and from the technical specs it shows that the speaker has a frequency range of 500Hz to 20KHz giving it a fair bit of the hearing range.
