  Domain map! 

  

  I included Haunted Frdige, because I do like the idea, but I am fairly confident that I will be pursuing the Sound Balls as my final.

  I am developing an OpenCV version to test out the interaction while determining the best ways to make the balls “smart.”

  Back to OmNom 

  So, I’m back to pursuing OmNom, this will be a fun and executable idea within the scope of time left in the semester.

  ROLES

  OmNom in public
  OmNom recycling bins in public will incentivize the recycling by providing an amusing and emotional response every time they’re used. By providing a happy and appreciative response users will be more apt to take the extra step of sorting their trash and using appropriate containers. Each container could have a sensor to let the city know when they’re full so trash collectors could empty full bins more efficiently.

  OmNom in the home
  If a user has an OmNom in the home they more than likely don’t need the emotive response to encourage behavior, more than likely they’re already avid recyclers. It would still provide amusement, reinforce their already good practice, and if they have children help instill a desire to recycle. The bins would alert users when full and could provide information on its use wirelessly to a configured computer.

  DOMAINS

  Sanitation, Environmental Awareness, Consumer Products, Smart Objects

  

  Implementation

  Arduino, wifi shield, ultrasonic rangefinder, speaker, LED’s, Photocell, load sensor, LCD screen

  Prior Art for Diabetes

  Stuff for kids with T1D for the most part sucks.

  

  Wow. Just wow. This shirt is from cafe press. I wonder how many moms bought this for their kids and made them wear it.

  Something somewhat similar, from the DiabetesMine design competition

  

  The Diabetics Rockstar webpage. It’s a social network with music playing from the site. A bit over-the-top.

  

  A kit put together by the American Diabetes Association for kids. Kind of parent-oriented.

  Prior Art, technology related

  

  The original Tamagachi

  

  Pokemon, a virtual pet battling game

  

  Neopets, a virtual pet online universe with a social network and even its own stock market.
