Future of Headphones
Andrea Macian
Imagine the pottery scene of Patrick Swayze in Ghost without music. Muting the sound, it would not be so emotional and passionate; it would even become odd. Sound and music are everywhere making our daily experiences different in many aspects. Our hearing sense combined with our sight let us be aware of our surrounding as well as take advantage of the opportunities that are offered. In the last decades, the popularity of small portable earbuds has increased, becoming useful devices when listening to music or calling our friends.
The goal of this project was developing a future concept of earbuds. By means of technology advancements, these devices will go further than entertainment being a daily product for users to know better themselves in terms of health, while also acting as a personal assistant. During this thesis it was conducted detailed research to develop the interaction of this new device. Additionally, we developed a mobile app to connect the earbuds, from where users will be able to completely personalize the experience in every aspect, becoming a unique practice for everyone; as well as this app will reflect some important data that is usually hidden from the self.
