Theres not really much to this post, except that I think the above bamboo speakers are rather beautiful, and a very elegant means of providing the audio guides for exhibitions. The Aimulet LA is a batteryless, light-activated handheld audio communication device, with an outer shell made from molded bamboo, designed by the Information Technology Research Institute at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.
They are designed to be held up to your ear like a mobile phone. When you stand over special LED emitters set into the ground, they receive the light signals via an array of spherical micro solar cells set into the bottom of the handset. The signals are then translated into audio messages that are played through a tiny speaker in the device.
