‘Re-defining’ the conference proceedings – let’s add some music and create a singing proceedings

Nowadays the conference proceedings provide only a static content in a form of a book, which may be supplemented with a CD or an additional content on a web-server of the conference. However why not to try to create a ‘multimedial’ paper version of the proceedings? As for animations, the concept of eInk is already developed and available on a market. However in a case of added sound, there are some attempts, but none of them has been applied in proceedings. In this paper a concept of a speaker was revised and taking a piezo-patch (used in sound applications) together with some small signal processing elements, sound was added to the book of proceedings. At the day of submission the first working prototype was assembled and tested. It is not perfect, so some of possible improvements identified are listed in the paper as well.
