About Birdy Callaire
Is callaire é Birdy le bata rialaithe i gcruth éin a chuireann ar chumas duine an ceol a bhainistiú lena lámh. Is callaire cónúil é an chuid íochtarach ina bhfuil dhá thiománaí 5W agus aimplitheoir aicme D dhá-chainéal. Braitheann braiteoir luamháin ag barr an chóin gluaiseacht na fíorine éin ar an dá ais. Nuair a luascann tú an fhíorin éin chun tosaigh nó chun deiridh, coigeartaítear an toirt, agus nuair a luascann tú ó chlé go deas, roghnaítear an t-amhrán roimhe seo nó an chéad amhrán eile. Feidhmíonn Birdy freisin mar chúntóir cliste tí a fhreagraíonn glaonna éan. Tá sé mar aidhm ag an dearadh nasc nádúrtha mothúchánach a chruthú idir daoine agus teicneolaíocht.

- Production Technology
- The speaker features two 5W drivers with a dual-channel class D amplifier. On the top of the cone is a joystick sensor that detects the movement of the bird above it in both XY axes, thus controlling the music playback.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge of the design is how to give an emotional connection to a technological artifact. We were inspired by the interaction between humans and birds, where birds have a natural connection to music. This led us to design Birdy, a speaker that offers a more natural and intuitive way to interact with technology, bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds.
- Research
- People communicate emotionally with their pets and we have studied various interactions between people and their pets and found that we were inspired by the interaction between humans and bird pets, where on the one hand birds have a natural connection to music and on the other hand their physical interaction between human and birds can be extracted as a way to control the music.
- Inspiration
- The design of Birdy is inspired by the way bird breeders often stroke and interact with their pets. The bird is located at the top and the bottom is a conical speaker. It is designed to foster emotional connections between users and the device, creating a more natural and seamless user experience.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March 2021 in Qingdao and finished in September 2022 in Ningbo.
- Operation Flow
- Users can control their music playback by swinging the bird-shaped game stick at the top, similar to a joystick. Swinging the bird backward or forward adjusts the volume, while swinging it left or right skips to the previous or next song. Additionally, Birdy is also a smart home assistant that responds to different bird calls.
