VOX

This is VOX. The smart-object that will revolutionise your morning experience. VOX uses parametric speakers, that direct sound (two speakers, one for each user), in order to create silence as much as it creates sound. With this directional speakers, the user is able to choose whether he wants to hear the tv at night with it's traditional speakers, and spread the noise throughout the house, possible interfeering with the sleep of somebody, or to use VOX's directional speakers, making him, the only one who listens to the tv. This is useful in the morning as well, instead of using a traditional alarm clock, where the noise is so violent, that you wake up very quickly, and possibly wake up others as well, the alarm clock function on VOX will wake up only you, with the a song that you like, according to your morning mood, chosen accordingly to the data the integrated motion sensor gathered along the night. VOX has three Physical buttons, one for deactivating the alarm clock, another for turning on the ambient lights or the direccional lights for reading, and a final one to transfer the sound from the tv to VOX’s direccional speakers. This will make for a simple and efficient user interface for when you are in bed. With every VOX there would be "the voice", it's a personal assistant that reads all the information you like in the morning, such as e-mails, social networks notifications, unread messages, traffic news, news in general, weather info, among others, all customized to the user's liking. With The VOX, there would be the VOX app, that configures all VOX's settings to the user's specifications, as well as, gives the user control of VOX's functions, such as ilumination (ambient lighting and directional lighting for reading), control of the sound (whether the user wants the sound coming from the tv ou from VOX), image control (the user chooses if he wants to transfer the image from the smartphone to the tv) and control of the music app (to play songs that the user wants).
