Mentre tutti aspettiamo impazientemente il nuovo Atari 2600, l'azienda svela invece un prodotto totalmente diverso. Si tratta di Speakerhat un berretto davvero particolare, visto che nella tesa sono integrati due altoparlanti per ascoltare la musica e c'è anche un microfono per le chiamate. Il tutto ovviamente Bluetooth.

Un gadget davvero particolare che dalla sua ha anche la funzione Multiplayer Mode che permette di sincronizzare vari Speakerhat tra di loro, in modo che più persone possano ascoltare la stessa musica da un'unica sorgente. Insomma, una visione diversa dello speaker senza fili in chiave indossabile.

Non è chiaro quando sarà possibile acquistare gli Atari Speakerhat né a che prezzo saranno commercializzati. Intanto potete provare a vincerne uno delle 10 versioni beta in palio partecipando al concorso indetto da Atari.

ATARI® ANNOUNCES BLADE RUNNER 2049 PARTNERSHIP WITH NECA AND AUDIOWEAR, LAUNCHING WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY THAT BLURS THE LINE BETWEEN FASHION AND FUTURE

Atari-branded Speakerhats Powered by Audiowear to be Unveiled at San Diego Comic Con with Limited-Edition Co-Branded Atari/BLADE RUNNER 2049 Products to Follow this Fall

NEW YORK, NY (July 20, 2017) - Atari® — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — today announced a partnership with leading action figure and collectibles maker NECA to introduce wearable technology products for BLADE RUNNER 2049, the hotly anticipated sequel to the legendary Ridley Scott directed sci-fi movie, coming to theaters on October 6, 2017. The first wave of all-new Atari Speakerhats, powered by Audiowear, the technology company creating next-generation individual and social audio experiences, debuts today and will be joined this fall by a Limited-Edition BLADE RUNNER 2049 Atari Speakerhat.

The Speakerhat is a baseball-style cap with high-fidelity stereo speakers and microphone that can connect instantly to any Bluetooth-enabled device, enabling phone calls, audio/music, and voice control. The patented Speakerhat, combined with Multiplayer Mode, will enable multiple Speakerhat users to simultaneously listen to a single audio stream in perfect synchronization, a fundamentally new social audio experience. Speakerhats have been precision-designed and engineered to the highest audio standards to deliver a unique and powerful experience to a range of active consumers, including gamers, outdoor and fitness enthusiasts, skaters, musicians, sports fans, tech early-adopters and many others.

“Atari has transcended its seminal gaming origins to become a true pop-culture lifestyle brand, but disruption remains deeply rooted in our DNA,” said Atari Connect COO, Michael Arzt. “With the recent reveal of our Ataribox project and now with Speakerhats, we envision a full range of connected personal devices that live at society’s intersection of entertainment, technology and social connectivity that legendary film worlds like BLADE RUNNER 2049 foretell. Our new products will speak to a whole new generation of Atari fans, while also honoring the decades of affection and devotion by our most loyal ones.”

“BLADE RUNNER 2049 made a distinctive and memorable mark with its recent reveal trailer that skillfully captured and evolved the aesthetic presented in the classic original film. Atari was an enduring and essential element in the sequel filmmakers’ world-building,” said NECA COO, Joel Weinshanker. “The minute the new trailer hit, we started getting requests for Atari-branded BLADE RUNNER 2049 products and knew we’d need to partner with Atari to satisfy the countless joint fans of both franchises.”

The Limited-Edition Atari BLADE RUNNER 2049 Speakerhat will ultimately be joined by a variety of Atari-branded lifestyle products such as high-tech wearables and apparel based on its popular IP, as well as various audio and gaming gadgets.
