    Japan's E-revolution wants you to stay home, brother, and chill with these new Motion Speakers and mood lights. The company claims to have achieved a clean, 10-inch tall design through the use of motion sensors instead of the usual array of knobs, buttons, or switches. Just bring your hand into the vicinity of the appropriate sensor and you can either adjust the volume or tune the integrated FM radio without the overwhelming burden of having to actually touch the device. The 2x 0.7W speakers are powered off regular batteries, AC, or USB and include a mini-jack for the audio feed. The revolution will not be televised, the revolution will be live however, come December 2 in Japan for ¥7,980 or about $69. Blue, green, and red "mood" lighting -- that's free.[Via Impress]
