The system features a subtle base that is topped by a piece of polycarbonate that will show song information and [change color according to your preferences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aa67-speaker). This will help to provide a calming, invigorating or soothing effect that will pair perfectly with your choice of music to help users feel more positively affected from both an audio and visual standpoint. The Sound Project is the design work of Pascal Grangier and features a remote control that responds to movement for an enhanced level of interaction with the system that is unlike traditional methods. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, 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 - **Mood-enhancing Speakers:** By infusing color therapy into speaker systems, there is an opportunity to create an immersive audio-visual experience for listeners. - **Interactive Speaker Controls:** Incorporating sensors that respond to movement offers a new level of interaction between users and their speaker systems, creating an opportunity for innovative designs. - **Personalized Audio-visual Experiences:** By allowing users to customize the color and light effects of speaker systems based on their preferences, there is potential for creating personalized and unique experiences for each listener. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporating color therapy and interactive controls into speaker systems could disrupt the traditional consumer electronics industry and create new opportunities for innovation. - **Mental Health:** Using speakers as a tool for mood enhancement through color and light therapy could disrupt the mental health industry and offer new solutions for stress reduction and relaxation. - **Interior Design:** Personalized, color-changing speakers could create opportunities for designers to incorporate functional, visually appealing pieces of art in homes and public spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chromatic All-in-One Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-colorful-audio-set.md) - [Invigorating Speaker Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-and-visual-device.md) - [Ambient Lantern-Like Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calmtern.md) - [Mood-Powered Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixx-speaker.md) - [Chromatic Style-Conscious Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boat-stone-1200f-speaker.md) - [Stylish Low-Tech Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-sound.md) - [Visually Attractive Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-pro-t3-jepson-edition.md) - [Sound-Sensitive LED Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-led-lamp.md) - [Ultra-Thin Chromatic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diyr-speaker.md)
