To help celebrate 2001: A Space Odyssey’s nostalgic 50-year anniversary comes this eerily-familiar HAL 9000 Replica. The sentient computer starred as the primary antagonist in the iconic film and is accurately mimicked in this basic-edition Bluetooth speaker, which dimensions were adapted straight from the studio’s original blueprint. Masters Replicas Group’s creation is fashioned from brushed aluminum with extruded aluminum trim, and a glass lens reminiscent of the original tech’s red eye.

For those in search of enhanced capabilities, the brand offers an upgraded version that can be attached to the Amazon Alexa-enabled Command Console, adding a 10.1-inch HD display and a set of master buttons that controls the front screen. Learn more about the HAL 9000 Replica via Indiegogo.
