The SOUND MIRROR of ICON.AI has been named three CES Innovation Awards Honoree with Audio segments. The SOUND MIRROR™ is the world's first form factor and a voice-activated acoustic mirror to help customers enjoy an epic sound experience. It combined a conventional mirror with a Voice-activated Smart speaker for one piece of new form factor. A breakthrough approach is a home interior speaker designed to look like furniture or a work of art rather than a conventional speaker and mirror. [1]

Figure 1 shows Boasting a vibrant sound that “fills the entire room”, the Sound Mirror can allegedly turn “any space into an immersive atmosphere”.

Control is simple via the Sound Mirror app, and users can customise their sound by adjusting the bass and treble controls. If you’re looking for a quick fix, the app also offers various Equaliser presets such as the Bathroom setting, which will ensure that the speaker is acoustically tuned for your bathroom environment.

ICON.AI is hardly the first company to merge mirrors with AI. A few years back at CES 2018, Kohler introduced a line of smart bathroom products that included its Verdera Voice Lighted Mirror. It let you use Alexa to control the mirror's lights and other smart devices in the home. ICON.AI may have missed an opportunity, not including lights in its own mirror. [3]

As for sound quality, ICON.AI promises "high-quality, impactful sound," but offers no details on drivers, tweeters, or sub-woofers. [3]

This year’s CES Innovation Awards program received a record number of more than 1800 submissions. The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), is an annual competition that honors outstanding design and engineering in 27 categories of consumer technology products. An elite panel of expert judges from the industry, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetics and design.
