CatchBox (getcatchbox.

release of its eponymous
product, a throwable
microphone that
makes public discussions
more lively and colorful by
encouraging participation
among students and
attendees. It doesn’t require
elaborate explanations,
downloads, or manuals
to understand; It’s just
like a normal wireless
microphone but users throw
it. Electronics automatically
mute the audio when the
device is in the air or being
dropped. All audience
members need to do is talk
into the box.
