The ALVA also features Google Assistant with a dedicated button for a superior end-user experience making it a perfect companion for the user’s living room.
“Looking at the success the ALVA has received has made all the time and effort that went into conceptualizing it and making it a reality totally worth it.

We look forward to creating better designs in the future and giving our users an even better experience.”
