Jered and Ciera's Awesome Arduino Concepts

These are a few of the concepts we've brainstormed over the pass few weeks. We're still deciding on which topic to choose, but we have a few in mind. The 3 favorable ideas are in orange. Once we've decided the topic, we'll edit this post.

Decided Concept: Alarm Clock
If we have time: Podium (much harder, need to do more research and perhaps use Raspberry Pi instead)

===General===

Anti cookie jar | refuses to open until tasks are done (situps, running)

Nanny bed with alarm clock/floss teeth | when it's time to get up, the air mattress deflates or when it's time to floss your teeth, it inflates as the person is flossing their teeth

Alarm clock that takes a picture when it turns off/ or a mirror that takes a picture when brushing teeth

Voting doors | two doors that count the # people that pass through them. Signage on each door indicates what question they're voting on, ex. best color? vote for red through door 1, vote for blue through door 2.

Sniper lamp | shines at people passing by to blind them

If I were you | a bed that has a light show and displays what it would do depending on the hour and weather (ie  2pm sunny, shows a bed at the park, at 10 pm night, shows a bed sleeping on a futon)

===Twitter based===

Podium | Recording Ums, Tweets Ums, Compiles Movie of Ums (takes the note and fits it into a song)

Lamp | Emotional qualities - happy tweets = up straight; sad tweets = droopy, it tweets places it rather be, emotion is determined by how much electricity is used (comparing to an average)

Selfie chair/mirror/camera | When user or user's friends posts a selfie, it replies with a selfie of itself (ex. a camera taking a picture of itself in the mirror)

Butt collector | Chair that collects information about the people that sit on it (pokemon cards)

Soccer ball follows you / Work bench | Tweets how much exercise  (every time it's lifted)
