harsh and unwelcoming, packaged in little black or white boxes finished with a
little aluminium and plastic. One company is now hoping to change this and
provide a more aesthetic and natural finish to its state-of-the-art technology
by combining both natural materials and high-tech components. The Mui wooden
interactive display has been designed to provide details about your home and
local environment as well as news, weather and updates from those services that
are important to you.
Mui It is equipped with a
capacitive touch panel combined with Bluetooth sensors that can sense when you
are at home as well as the CO2 in the environment around you. Its developers
also say that voice activation support is currently under development.
Mui will soon be launching on
Kickstarter and is expected to be priced around US$ 1,000. As soon as more details
are made available we will keep you up-to-date. In the meantime you can jump
