It's now products like the OSOUND System that have done away with them completely, in favor of a mode of operation that's much more intuitive and interactive. Designed by [Digital Habit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-house)(s), this [bluetooth amplifier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker) has just two sensors on the bottom of its circular face that need only be touched lightly in different ways to initiate different commands. Cover both at once with your palm and the current song will pause; to adjust the volume, place your hand over either the left one or the right. To skip tracks backwards or forwards, swipe across the OSOUND System swiftly and the [minimalist wall-mounted speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-speaker) will play your desired audio file from your smartphone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gesture-controlled Interfaces:** Opportunities for further development of intuitive and interactive user experience in electronic devices. - **Minimalist Design:** Increasing demand for streamlined aesthetics and simplicity in modern products. - **Smart Amplifiers:** Innovations in combining advanced audio technology with user-friendly interfaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Potential for greater adoption of gesture-control technology in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices. - **Home Audio Systems:** Opportunities to improve user experience and convenience in the design and function of smart speakers. - **Music Industry:** Innovative developments in amplifier technology and interactive user experiences could create new opportunities and markets within the music industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gesture-Controlled Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-touch.md) - [Interactive Music Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-maestro.md) - [Gesture-Control Earpiece Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-air-concept.md) - [Tactile Control Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olfoo-headphones.md) - [Tactile Smart Home Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/from-design-concept.md) - [Stylish Low-Tech Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-sound.md) - [Music-Sharing Transmitted Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundmotion.md) - [Acousto-Optic Smart Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-wireless-speaker-design.md) - [Unified Audio Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ljud.md)
