Projects
These are some of the projects that have been done with the TinkerKit at 'The Savannah College Of Art And Design
Eight students were given the TinkerKit module and were asked to make some real-life, simple and intelligent applications. Here is what they came up with.
Sonic Privacy for Lavatory:
This is a video prototype of a device that determines if and how a toilet is being used and responds by filling the space with appropriate sound; thus, a level of privacy is provided, masking certain 'sonic byproducts' of typical restroom use.

Mama:
Chris creates a "watch" that tells you when you've been sitting too long in the same place. It urges you to go for a walk and will nag you if you don't, even to the point of embarrassment
