As technology develops exponentially, music speakers are becoming increasingly innovative. We have seen the invention of a burglar-deterring speaker named Kevin. Simulating typical household sounds, the smart speaker fools potential robbers into thinking homeowners are in. Another forward-thinking speaker is the FENG, which turns flags into loudspeakers. Now Second White expands the function of a speaker, producing light in addition to sound.

Second White’s latest creation is an AI speaker. We have seen AI speakers such as Amazon’s Alexa, which are able to engage in conversation with humans. Nevertheless, Second White seeks to go a step further, engaging with humans through another medium: light. With a minimalist design, the AI design is completely white in colour except for the integrated light strip running through it. This strip lights up in accordance with the music the user is listening to.

By gauging the listener’s mood depending on their music choice, the AI lighting device provides a more immersive listening experience. The speaker is unique in its engagement with multiple senses simultaneously.

Takeaway: AI household appliances are a growing trend. With more and more homeowners interacting with machines on a daily basis, the potential to engage more fully with them could prove very popular. It will be interesting to see how other AI devices could be adapted to further engage with their human users using light, or indeed other mediums. How else could the home environment develop its potential for personalisation in future?
