Journey Mate is a modular smart backpack that enriches the travel audio-visual experience. The innovations of the product are: 1. The smart module offers travelers to collect sound samples of local languages via communicating with local individuals, triggering the pleasantness of multi-sensory interaction. 2. All sounds are visualized as waveform diagrams and collected in the Urban Sound Library and World Footprint Library, to achieve a sense of acquisition. 3. There are two modules in this backpack. You can combine two in one for long-distance travel, or take any module for daily life.
