About Birdy Kaikitro
Toriteny: Birdy dia kaikitro misy tehim-pifehezana endrika vorona izay ahafahana mifehy ny fitsofan-tsofina mozika amin'ny tanana. Ny ampahany ambany dia kaikitro endrika kaonina misy drivers 5W roa sy amplifier class D roa fantsona (dual-channel). Misy sensor joystick eo amin'ny tampon'ilay kaonina izay mahatsapa ny fihetsehan'ilay sarin-jorona vorona amin'ny axe roa. Raha ahozongozona mankamiala na mankamody ilay sarin-jorona vorona dia miova ny feo, ary raha ahozongozona mankaviana na mankavanana kosa dia misafidy ny hira teo aloha na manaraka. Birdy koa dia miasa ho mpanampy an-trano marani-tsaina izay mamaly ny feon-boron-jazakely. Natao ny endri-javatra mba hamoronana fifandraisana voajanahary sy be fihetseham-po eo amin'ny olona sy ny teknolojia.

- Speaker, Emotional design, Bird, Bionics, Natural
- 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.
