OKA unveils Mori, a mushroom-shaped robot lamp that reacts but offers limited functions
Why it matters for readers: It’s an interesting gadget that reacts to people and aims to make home spaces feel calmer rather than provide smart assistant features.
- Mori is a mushroom-shaped device that acts as a lamp and reveals animated eyes and a camera in a diamond-shaped nose when it reacts to people.1
- The device tracks movement, makes soft, bird- and R2-D2-like sounds, and can retract its head and play nature soundscapes when touched.1
- OKA (One Kind Artifact) plans Mori as the first of five experimental “Artifacts” intended to reshape how people relate to their surroundings.1
- OKA is a startup with bases in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Shenzhen, China, led by CEO Hua Wang.1
