# Electro-Luminescent Jaguar Masks This Mask Reacts to the Rhythm of Music to Change Its Appearance By David Ingram | Published 2015-12-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-mask References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1997713215/the-sound-reactive-mask?ref=category_recommended) & [outline-montreal](http://outline-montreal.com/en/) Montreal-based start-up company Outline Montréal has created this innovative jaguar mask that can actually change its appearance based on the rhythms of surrounding music. This black foam mask is decorated with a series eye-catching electro-luminescent blue lights arranged in a number of different patterns. Using sound reactive technology, the many shapes that make up the jaguar mask's design will begin to turn on or off depending on the musical beat, creating a unique and mesmerizing effect. The jaguar design was chosen because of the nocturnal nature of the animal, which makes sense, considering these light-up masks look the most impressive when displayed in the pitch dark. The masks were actually specially designed to allow wearers in the audience at musical events to become an eye-catching interactive element of the show. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Electro-luminescent Masks:** Opportunity for creating interactive and customizable masks that react to sound and light, enhancing the user experience. - **Sound Reactive Technology:** Potential for incorporating sound reactive technology into various products, creating dynamic visual effects based on audio input. - **Interactive Event Experiences:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to engage event attendees by integrating wearable technology that responds to music and transforms the audience into a visual spectacle. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Innovation potential for fashion brands to incorporate electro-luminescent technology into accessories, offering an interactive and captivating experience to consumers. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for events and live performances to enhance the audience experience by integrating sound reactive masks, creating a visually stunning and immersive atmosphere. - **Consumer Electronics:** Potential for consumer electronics brands to develop sound reactive masks or other products that cater to the growing demand for interactive and customizable wearable technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Emotional LED Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qudi-mask.md) - [Digital Avatar LED Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qudi-mask-2.md) - [Emotive Inflatable Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lian-mask.md) - [Connected Emotive Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w3e-mask-expressive-emotion.md) - [Flexible LED Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-tech.md) - [Reactive Party Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightboks.md) - [Soothing Smart Sleeping Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-smart-sleep-mask.md) - [Sound-Playing Sleep Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundplaying-sleep-mask.md) - [Visualized Music Display Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhythm-light.md)
