Project Ideas

  1. Good Morning/Good Night Device: Senses when phone is taken off the nightstand and triggers a visual or auditory reaction (a fabric unfurling like a fan)
  2. Virtual Door Knock: When your friend remotely knocks on your door to see if you have a second to chat. Maybe there’s a mailbox flag motion. A way to remind someone to check notification, attend event, etc.
  3. Spooky Doll – shine a light at your doll to trigger a flashy and noisy reaction on your partner’s doll. Keep them on their toes 🙂
  4. Sleepy Doll – Shushes partner or covers “ears” when partner is being too noisy
  5. Disco Time – When bright light shines on disco ball, start spinning and twirling. Use NeoPixels perhaps
  6. Wheel of Fortune – if it lands on something good, inflate, if it lands on something bad, deflate
  7. Magic 8 Ball – Shake the Bluefruit for an answer (displayed with Neopixels and servo motor on a straw. Thumb can swivel up, down, and in the middle)
  8. Snack Time: sensor under your favorite snack – triggers “happy dance” on your proxy body
  9. Do Not Disturb – put blanket over device (low brightness) to trigger your proxy body’s Neopixels. Proxy body also can cover itself with an accordion fold blanket
  10. Slumber Party – where your fussy friends are noisy when they sleep. Like a sleepover, their proxy bodies wake you up when they move, talk, etc.
