Control This Lovely Wireless Speaker By Just Putting Your Phone On It

get down by the over - complicated control schemes of wireless speakers that unremarkably lead in pleonastic playback and volume control , Victor Johansson , an inspiring product intriguer , came up with a serious solution : a minimalist ceramic verbalizer that only cares about where you place your telephone set .

Instead of buttons or other physical controls , the speaker use a set of sensors to make up one’s mind where a phone has been placed on its surface . There are three trenchant zones that control three different functions . Placing it one berth starts diddle your tunes , place it in another pauses the playback , and the last turn on the radio instead .

Volume , track selection , and other playback options are all left up to the gadget being used to minimize redundance , while beam indicators light up momentarily to indicate the current mode . Now how ’s about building a better toaster that perfectly ignite my Pop Tart when send on top ?
