Noise pollution is becoming an increasing problem in public spaces and the home, and leads to increased stress levels.
An intelligent panel that responds to sound by changing shape or position. iQuell requires no motor but is based on springs which change shape in response to electrical signals triggered by sound. A torsion spring returns the structure to its original state when the noise has receded. With the help of motion detection, the system can also follow a user’s movement and be used to regulate sound where needed.
