The Design

About Follow Interaktiv Højttaler

Follow er en interaktiv højttaler formet som en lille fugl. Musik afspilles gennem en Bluetooth-forbindelse. Betjeningselementerne fra en traditionel musikafspiller er placeret på selve fuglen. Berøring af hovedet eller halen skifter nummer. Ét tryk på ryggen gemmer sangen, og ryggen bliver rød. To tryk sætter musikken på pause eller starter den. Fuglen bevæger sig langs et spor, så dens position viser sangens forløb. Skallen er lavet af ABS-plast ved sprøjtestøbning og kombineret med stof. Formen er lille og enkel.
