It is a kind of smart furniture that helps owners remembering all memories related to them. The Talking Furniture helps in preserving memories and life that happens around a specific product. It not only provides the technical information about a product, but also lifestyle content to get the most out of that furniture piece. It can provide you with recipes in the kitchen and bedtime stories in the childrens’ room. With the companion mobile app, you can record photos, audio and video, which would be saved in the memory of the furniture for future use.
You just need to bring your smartphone near the integrated chip, and it will automatically connect to the companion mobile app to provide the exact information about a specific product outrightly.
