“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
Knock Knock - Prenatal Speaker for Hearing Impaired Mothers
Knock Knock enables hearing-impaired pregnant mothers to communicate with their babies. The base conveys the mother’s messages, while the upper element transmits the baby’s movements as vibrations through a bone-conduction speaker. Messages are sent using AI and Text-to-Speech technology. The device also monitors background noise levels to shield the baby from loud sounds. Post-birth, it serves as a lullaby speaker.
