Absrtact: Music is likely to be the next breaking point for new hardware. Recently I saw a lot of music in the field of new hardware, they give me the feeling is, do not, nature. Music through human nature, so that the field of products to add some intelligent elements, the experience is good.

Music is likely to be the next breaking point for new hardware. Recently I saw a lot of music in the field of new hardware, they give me the feeling is, do not, nature. Music through human nature, so that the field of products to add some intelligent elements, the experience is good. That's Muno.

Muno is a WiFi speaker that adds intelligent interactive elements. Log shell, natural shape, using a similar to the Apple icon rounded rectangle design. Muno can directly connect to WiFi, and then can be independent of the phone to play their own network music, has now supported the Watercress FM, the other home is still in negotiations, of course, it also supports the use of mobile phone remote control. Normally, you sit at the table, open the Muno, and it begins to sing. Tap the top, pause, clap and start playing again. Want to listen to the next one, with hand it to the right side, start playing the next one, to the left is the last one.
Muno's founder, Sean, said he didn't like to listen to the music and hold the cell phone dot, hoping to do a very pure music. Muno is the way to make music more enjoyable through simple, natural interactions.

Currently on the market most of the WiFi speakers are connected to the mobile phone, as a subsidiary of the existence, the consequences of this is that you listen to music, mobile phone application of a variety of push reminders, SMS or phone will interfere with the music play, like music people will not endure. Muno the speaker independently, with its own processor and memory card, completely unaffected by the phone, and able to play some of the previously saved music while offline.

More importantly, let the speaker become intelligent, there are many to expand. Sean has been thinking about adding new ways to interact, such as sliding up and down at the top, controlling the volume, or shaking the speakers to indicate a sign. With processors and sensors, a speaker is no longer just a device that amplifies sound, but a gadget that can interact directly with people.

This is not to completely abandon the mobile phone, under the existing conditions some operations still have to rely on mobile phones and supporting applications to complete, and the software end of the scalability is also greater. Sean said that they want to add to the software side some similar song, timed song Alarm clock or DJ and other functions, there are many social ideas, to increase the user's use of viscosity.

I am optimistic about the Muno because I think the new hardware to be widely used by the public, the day-to-day operation is should not need a mobile phone, just in the expansion layer or complex operating layer needs to complete the mobile phone, similar ideas of the product and fantasy Teng, who turned on the light is willing to use the mobile phone every day, the switch is the entity intelligent is the positive solution.

Muno is still in small-scale trial production, and conservative estimates may take October to produce the first batch of goods. In the future, Sean said he will continue to do music hardware products, there may be a support for 3G or 4G network Music box, take it, where there are music, no mobile phone elderly children can also use it conveniently.

Sean previously worked as a systems engineering director at Microsoft's Asia Hardware Center, with more than 10 years of experience in the hardware industry and other members with strengths. At present, the team is still recruiting, interested friends can cast resumes to song#sugrsugr.com.
