Like most [modern speaker designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker), Fábio Miguel Martins' creation does more than just play music. The Vox Speaker also features a [reading light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calmtern) and an alarm clock that uses motion sensors to play the perfect wake up song. Vox has two types of speakers: one speaker that spreads sound throughout the house and another that concentrates it all around you. In addition to waking you up, directing your sound and giving you a light to read by, the Vox Speaker can also be connected to the Internet, allowing it to read off social media notifications, emails, weather, news and much more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Directional Sound:** The trend of creating audio systems that allow users to control the direction of sound, offering personalized listening experiences. - **Smart Speaker Integration:** The trend of integrating various features and connectivity options into smart speakers, enhancing their functionality beyond just playing music. - **Multifunctional Home Gadgets:** The trend of designing home gadgets that serve multiple purposes, combining different functionalities into a single device. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Entertainment:** The industry that can benefit from directional sound technology by offering immersive audio experiences for home theaters and gaming setups. - **Consumer Electronics:** The industry that can leverage the integration of smart speaker features to create innovative and convenient devices for everyday use. - **Home Automation:** The industry that can explore the market for multifunctional home gadgets that streamline various aspects of daily life, from entertainment to productivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [See-Through Private Listening Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-directional-speaker.md) - [Invigorating Speaker Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-and-visual-device.md) - [User-Following Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solros-speaker.md) - [Dynamic Air-Purifying Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vox-aeris.md) - [Portable Wireless Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-minus-zero.md) - [Clear-Frame Directional Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focusound.md) - [Sculptural Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonique.md) - [Targeted Audio Wave Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zipp-speaker-concept.md) - [Decor-Centric Speaker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-speaker.md)
