Jonah & Becky: Internet activated notification/love


  Flickr set 
  Originally uploaded by Bekathwia.

Jonah and I are making a two toys, both activated by the same computer-connected unit. A program on the host computer listens for activity directed towards you (email, IM), then filters it based on your specifications. This filtered info is then sent to the toy via the RF module. Jonah wants his to know when he has to respond to a webhosting support ticket without distracting his guests, and Becky wants hers to receive instant message X's and O's from loved ones. See our work in progress on flickr (above), and our project flowchart here.

What's Happening Here

  • This blog documents the work of students in two separate Parsons classes and departments. MAKING WIRELESS PLUSH TOYS designs, sews, and solders interactive soft toys. MAKING WIRELESS PLUSH TOYS is a class in the CDT department, Communication Design Technology. TOY CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN deals with the fundamentals of ideation, development and design. TOY CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN is a class in the Illustration Department. These are two separate classes that take place in two separate departments and have two separate groups of students. The Professors decided to create one blog for the class to help promote the cross-fertilization of ideas and warm fuzzy feelings between departments.
