My project will consist of a drink holder, koozie, carrier, etc. that will create sounds as it is lifted from a surface in which it sits. I will run sort of an advertising campaign on the device, creating flyers, newspaper ads, magazine ads, rack cards, branding logos, and so on. I will also create a box or case in which the item will be marketed and essentially put on the shelves. I am going to try and make the building and wiring part of the project more towards the simple side of things, that way i can focus on making this a real product.

Project 4

For Project 4, we've decided to use an Accelerometer for our main input. Our main output will be some sort of speaker in which the size is to be determined. We want to use a Wii nunchuk controller's tilt action ability, and incorporate sound as well. Our main output will be some sort of a small amplifier.

Walgreens LED: Placed LED DROID-BOT on top of a trash can right outside the front door. A few people stopped and checked it out for a couple of minutes, then other people just walked right on by. One fellow even took out his glasses to get a closer look.

Machine Love Poem

Machine Love Poem

By: Ryan F. Holladay

I’m great aren’t I?

Just got here and you can’t stop looking at me.

How bout I help you out,

No strings attached.

You want something.

I’m reading YOU now, you want something.

What’s in it for me?

What do you want from me?

Just another new thing.

There will be something better,

At least more desirable.

Get your hands off me.

In the meantime,

It is this.

Coworkers.

Help me help you.

LED

I put my LED flasher in a bathroom and took a picture to document my strategy. I decided to put it amongst some other trash on the floor to attempt to camouflage, or make people look if first glance failed.
