Birdy is a speaker that is designed to evoke a tactile and interactive experience with a creature, rather than a geometric object. With intuitive controls, users can manage their music playback by using the bird as a game stick. By swinging it in different directions, users can adjust the volume, skip to the next or previous song, and more. In addition to its music-playing capabilities, Birdy also doubles as a smart home assistant that responds to various bird calls. Its aim is to create a more natural and emotionally engaging user experience.
