Unfolding sound spaces
& collect
Conventional audio speakers require the listener to sit in a certain spot to get the best audio experience. The Tri-X concept makes the sound follow the listener. Audio panels with embedded speakers fold and unfold, using their angle and direction to create different sound space experiences.
