Interactive Speaker for JDF

As a music player, the highlight is to focus the button function of the traditional player on the bird itself. Users only need to touch the back of the bird to cut songs, collect and pause music and other requirements. At the same time, users can observe the position of the moving bird to judge the progress of the song, and judge whether the music is collectable by the color of the bird's back. The overall shape is small, the image of the bird and music player fit.
