ASCII.JP FAUNA's audio glass, brand from Austria

Spiro Transparent Brown

MEMS speakers, which can be called "silicon driver" using semiconductors, can be said to be the hottest element technology in the audio field.I heard the news of the MEMS speaker a while ago, but it was still a topic at the research level.Recently, I have seen an article that will be installed in an audio glass that emerges.

Audio glass is a field where BOSE "Frame" has appeared and the market has been launched several years ago.A small speaker is attached to the glasses frame, and you can listen to music like BGM.It is a different field similar to a smart glass that has a built -in cameras, such as Google Glass, which attracts topics for a while, and realizes AR.

Proposal of glasses to listen to music

In this article, we will feature Fauna products, the latest model of these audio glasses.

FAUNA is an Austrian eyewear brand.I tried a model called "SPIRO Transparent Brown", and MEMS technology is used in the speaker that makes sound.The selling price on the FAUNA JAPAN official online site is 37,800 yen.

According to the manufacturer's explanation, the feature of the FAUNA brand is that it is not a gadget side, but that it pushes fashion to the forefront.This is a differentiation point from other brands.Although it is an audio glass, it is comparable to the general high brand eyewear in terms of design and material.For example, the frame adopts the acetate of Makeri, a long -established Italian glasses fabric manufacturer.Glasses lenses use lenses from Karl Zeiss, a famous German in Japan.

In addition, the FAUNA audio glass is also a simple wearable device aspect.There is an app dedicated to FAUNA, which provides music that matches various situations and teaches the time to provide regular hydration.

As an audio device, it is characterized by the MEMS speaker that touches the pronunciation above.FAUNA uses a USOUND MEMS unit.MEMS speakers and woofers are installed on the left and right.

MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) refers to those that have a variety of functions on a chip as a collection.This is similar to a one -chipped package of an IC with a different function called SOC (System on Chip), but in the case of MEMS, not only digital circuits such as IC but also actuators with mechanical movable portions.The fact that it is small and accumulated is different.The movable part and the drive portion are packaged, so you can create speakers that vibrate the air.

The advantage is that it can be ultra -size, so that the degree of freedom in design when combined with other parts, and that it can be reduced.
