The 'Sound Bubble' is a sound amplifier for the ASUS Transformer tablet. Even on its highest volume setting, it was still difficult to listen to music or watch videos. Using found objects, I created a simple solution for my speaker problem. The 'Sound Bubble' comes in two sizes: regular and mini. The regular-sized amplifier is built from a blue plastic cap, large binder clip, and held together by wall tac. It amplifies sound well, but not as loudly compared to its smaller companion. The 'Sound Bubble Mini' is built from various found objects: a red m&m cap, binder clip, and a bubble container, which are held together by a rubber band and a bit of wall tac. Although small in size, the mini will be heard.
Song used in videos: Asian Dream Song by Joe Hisaishi
