Are you kidding me? Some believe a man never walked on the moon, some believe Tupac never really died, well I believe that the Edge Motion is also an elaborate hoax produced by Emo Labs. I mean, speakers that aren’t really speakers? With probably enough technological and scientific terminology to make my head explode, Gizmodo.com breaks it down to one simple idea, these invisible speaker screens involve a “clear layer microflexing to generate soundwaves. Enough to produce a room full of stereo sound—without effecting visual screen quality.” Honestly, just watch the video to see how these invisible speaker screen really work. Unless, like me, you believe it’s all a ruse. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Invisible Speaker Screens:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new audiovisual technologies that combine clear screens with sound generation capabilities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate invisible speaker screens into TVs, smartphones, and other consumer electronic devices to enhance audio quality without compromising visual screen quality. - **Home Theater Systems:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create home theater systems that incorporate invisible speaker screens to provide immersive surround sound without cluttering the room with visible speakers. - **Advertising and Digital Signage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply invisible speaker screens to create interactive advertising displays and digital signage with high-quality audio. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transparent Loudspeaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loudspeaker-system.md) - [Transparent TV-Speaker Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-dukebox.md) - [Clear-Frame Directional Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focusound.md) - [Smart Beaming Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noveto-n1.md) - [Sculptural Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker.md) - [Ferromagnetic Visualizer Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-der-waals-speaker.md) - [Ultra-Thin Chromatic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diyr-speaker.md) - [Inconspicuous Flat Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-speaker.md) - [Distortion-Free Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genesis-speaker.md)
