Default [IEEE] Flexible Paper Speakers on the Way


Quote:
The device, named fleXpeaker, is basically a sandwich of paper and metal filled with an electroactive polymer that contracts and expands with an audio signal’s electric field.

”It’s soft [and can] easily fit in different curves,” says Ming-Daw Chen, division director of ITRI’s Electronics and Optoelectronics Research Laboratories. ”Therefore, the product customization can be done in diverse fields, such as art for public facilities, interior design,...costume accessories, and others.”

maybe a little bigger then handheld paper stuff is the ide here :/



to bad it's only capable of mid -> high so basically useless for average joe

using this thing in a car sterio would suck, but maybe it would suffice for a handsfree speaker tho

i see a future of allot of talking billboards

I can't stand those ignorants commenting this video like "it's useless".

EDIT: I didn't mean you Space cat. At least you have a point of view but comments in youtube page is the what pisses me off.
