Form-Fitting Music Bracelets

The Echo Band Has a Futuristic One-Size-Fits-All Design

— August 22, 2011 — Art & Design
The Echo Band is a concept wristband designed to play music and tell time. The Echo Band has a flexible shape and colorful skin, making it both form-fitting and eye-catching.

The Echo Band was created by Iranian designer Milad Taleghani and is made out of low-density polyethylene. This material eliminates the need for different sizes, as the band can expand or contract to fit any wrist. The band has a simple control system using only three buttons to skip tracks and display the time. Songs are loaded via a built-in USB port and the music is pumped into a pair of included wireless headphones. The headphones are colored to match the band and are made from PVC to ensure flexibility.
Trend Themes

3. Simplified User Interfaces - Developing control systems that utilize minimal buttons can provide a more user-friendly experience and create opportunities for creative and intuitive design.
