MIX:X Work Song Machine

Junyoung Lee unveils his latest creation: MIX:X, a revolutionary work song machine designed to enhance productivity through music tailored to individual emotional states.

MIX:X aims to synchronize these rhythms with music. By observing facial expressions via an integrated camera, MIX:X deciphers the user’s emotional state and generates music that resonates with their mood. This process involves a fusion of the user’s selected music preferences with elements reflective of their current emotional disposition.

The name and logo of MIX:X symbolize the amalgamation of fluctuating emotional states and musical components to produce harmonious melodies. Recognizing the profound impact of music on mood and rhythm, MIX:X strives to uplift the spirits of those feeling downcast, pacify individuals experiencing agitation, and amplify the enjoyment of those already in high spirits.

MIX:X offers users the ability to adjust the music volume using a convenient dial located at the bottom of the device. Additionally, attaching a smartphone to MIX:X via its built-in magnet enables seamless activation of the accompanying app as the screen illuminates.
