Abstract
Voice activated electronic devices are described herein. In some embodiments, the voice activated electronic device may include a housing forming a cavity. An array of microphones, one or more speakers, and one or more cameras may be located within the cavity. Furthermore, the voice activated electronic device may include a display screen and a touch screen, which may both be coupled to the housing such that the housing is substantially enclosed. In some embodiments, the array of microphones is positioned about the housing such that audio input may be detectable from audio output by the speaker(s) while the speaker(s) are outputting audio. For instance, one or more vibration mitigators may be included to dampen vibrations that may affect a performance and functionality of the one or more components located within the cavity.
