A development team based in France has created a new
customisable smart speaker system called the OWA smart speaker, which not only
provides a Bluetooth speaker but also a sunrise alarm clock, that can be
customised using 3D printing technology. Customers simply choose their colour,
shape and pattern and the company will create your custom 3D speaker enclosure
to suit your style and home.
The OWA smart speaker has this week launched via
Kickstarter with the aim of raising € 75,000 over the next 35 days, with pledges
are available for early bird backers from € 199. If all goes well, and the
Kickstarter campaign is successful delivery of the customised, partly 3D
printed speaker is expected to take place during December 2018.
The OWA Bluetooth speaker offers users 20 watts of
power and is equipped with 2 ×10 watt speakers, offering the ability to provide
360 degree surround sound, as well as support for Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity.
The internal rechargeable battery is capable of providing over 10 hours of use
from a single charge and the internal light is capable of providing atmospheric
lighting. The same light can also be used as a sunrise alarm clock, to allow
you to wake-up via a natural dawn simulator combined with your favourite
morning song.
The team is currently working on a companion
application that will be supported by both iOS and Android devices providing
further customisation and the ability to set alarms, link music and more.
