# Elegant Emotive Speakers The Laier Speaker Projects Mood-Matching Lights on Its Panels By Ell Smith | Published 2017-09-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laier-speaker References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/09/06/a-speaker-that-speaks-to-your-emotions/) & [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/tag/pdf-haus/) The Laier Speaker system by PDF Haus provides a unique audio experience that's as visually stimulating as it is emotionally intuitive. Using artificial intelligence, Laier learns a user's music tastes and understands how various songs and artists relate to one's mood. Once a mood has been established, the system's gorgeous display of four semi-transparent light panels will flicker with associated colors. The visual aspect of this system helps enhance the mood in a manner that's personal and individual for each user. As a result, the listening device helps create a unique experience with every song. The device successfully tightens the gap between consumers and products, by creating emotional bonds between the two that offer memorable experiences, while performing a specific task. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **AI-powered Mood-matching Devices:** The use of AI in consumer electronics to enhance emotional experiences and tighten the gap between consumers and products creates disruptive innovation opportunities. - **Personalized Audio-visual Devices:** The integration of personalized audio and visual elements in consumer electronics creates disruptive innovation opportunities for unique user experiences. - **Emotionally Intelligent Speakers:** The development of emotionally intelligent speakers using AI and visual cues creates disruptive innovation opportunities for enhancing emotional connections between consumers and products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can leverage AI and emotional intelligence to develop innovative products that provide personalized, emotionally engaging experiences to consumers. - **Audio Technology:** The audio technology industry can incorporate visual elements and emotional intelligence to create innovative audio-visual products that revolutionize the consumer electronics market. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can explore the integration of personalized audio-visual devices with home furnishings to enhance emotional connections and create industry-disrupting products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimacy-Encouraging Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightingale-mood-speaker.md) - [Mood-Powered Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixx-speaker.md) - [Physically Interactive AI Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-hybrid-speaker.md) - [Ambient Lantern-Like Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calmtern.md) - [Mood-Setting Speaker Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-bluetooth-speaker-with-light.md) - [Levitating Lunar Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lua-speaker.md) - [Transparent AI Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiantian-casa-aria.md) - [Acousto-Optic Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-wireless-speaker-design.md) - [Chinese Lantern-Like Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sirocco-speaker.md)
