Ideas for project 2:
I want to create an internet-of-things object (or suite of objects) that attempt to measure time spent working. Each of these items individually could shed some light on work habits of the user. Based on the input data collected from the sensor(s), the user would receive e-mails or notifications from some other service (social media, maybe?) that encourages them to be more playful while they work. Maybe it’s a playful quotation or saying, maybe it’s a link to a brain game, maybe the device makes a fun noise or encourages users to have a playful interaction with the device.
- pen cup
- motion sensor that detects when an object is removed from the cup
- post-it dispenser
- IR sensor that detects when you take a post-it note
- paper clip holder
- coffee cup
- titlt sensor – when the tilt sensor measures that the cup is titled so much that it is empty/almost empty, it counts the number of cups of coffee consumed
- decision maker paper weight
