Moodbox is a wireless, capsule-shaped speaker designed to monitor your mood and then use learning software to select music to suit it. Through a built-in microphone, Moodbox interacts with the user by asking them questions, and then draws on certain attributes of a user’s speech such as pitch, energy and speed to inform a learning algorithm.
By doing this day after day, the thinking is that Moodbox will become better attuned to your feelings over time and better equipped to offer a little pick-me-up. Primarily, it is designed to do so through music, with the ability to thoughtfully select songs over Wi-Fi from a library on the user’s smartphone, tablet or computer, as well as stream from services such as Pandora and Spotify.
