GrandWizard DJ Smartphone

GrandWizard DJ Smartphone is an innovative mobile device that revolutionizes the intersection of smartphone technology and professional DJ capabilities, designed by Yu Hiraoka in Milan in 2013. This groundbreaking device transcends conventional smartphone music playback functionality by incorporating a sophisticated portable mixing station with dedicated right and left controls for authentic DJ performance. The device features a unique three-screen configuration with dimensions of 165 x 115 x H16 mm when fully opened, constructed from premium aluminum materials to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal. Its distinctive design philosophy combines classical DJ turntable interfaces with contemporary touch panel technology, featuring intuitive click wheels and specialized control surfaces that enable professional-grade music manipulation and remix creation in a portable format. The interface architecture is thoughtfully divided into three main components, each with dedicated screens and functions, allowing simultaneous operation of multiple applications while maintaining full smartphone functionality. The device's innovative fader system enables users to manipulate tracks independently on left and right screens, with a central display dedicated to remix integration. This Silver A' Design Award-winning creation in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category represents a significant advancement in mobile music technology, offering DJs and music enthusiasts a professional-grade mixing solution that maintains the portability of a smartphone while delivering authentic DJ performance capabilities through its interactive control system and multi-screen layout.
