The conceptual 'Smart Set Top Box' has been designed as an all-in-one solution for the living room that will offer users a way to stay connected to their favorite media. Capable of streaming content just like a traditional set-top box, the device also functions as a smart speaker for crisp audio when watching shows or listening to music. The compact design of the unit makes it perfect for placement anywhere in the living room and has a fabric exterior to bring a touch of texture to the device.
The conceptual 'Smart Set Top Box' is the design work of Weilin D and Xican Deng, and is rounded off with a retractable webcam to also let users take video calls directly from their television.
