Recipes
- Creativity glass
- let the users write with a pen in a transparent surface on solving their problem while recording and responding to actions
- use a webcam and OpenCV and a library of specific patterns of interaction, e.g.
Execute button on some code or record to add a time stamp
- Ergonomic work station (for the knowledge worker)
- problematic
- the normal keyboard is not ergonomic, wrists are bended forcing the rest of the body to follows which, stressing it over time
- solutions for fixed desk
- not mobile and expensive
- FrogPad, HalfKeyboard, etc...
- inspired by
- check Design
- agriculture tools
- Tiny Meteorogological Station
- set of sensors to provide a constant flow of useful information for proper gardening and eventually remote consultancy (with Paola)
- wind meter
- temperature of the air, of the soil
- humidity
- webcam
- USB output for wiki exporting
- How to make a grow box controller The Cheap Vegetable Gardener 2009
- arkfab appropriate biotech collective located in Atlanta
- pedagogical tools
- Feeling Complexity device
- from discussion in ##philosophy "I think pain, like effort, provides precious information regarding the underlying substrate one uses as if resistance helped to map the substrate, the space you are exploring in the same way that a serie of exercises in biology in school helps one to shape his main in related problem-solving (and for the aphorisms fans "One stands only on what resists." by Malraux, originally "On ne s'appuie que sur ce qui resiste"
- to send to Gwenael to forward it to LIX teachers
- check CPUs with native step-by-step computation (Z80 ?)
- directly thus having to turn the handle a lot
- indirectly, thus having to turn the handle harder through mechanical brake (maybe not pedagogically the best)
- manipulate an hypercube with your hands
- domotic tools
- Safety coffee
- weight measurement for the morning cup of coffee
- if weight above threshold, set MORNING_COFFE_DRUNK environment variable on the computer then authorize actions like
rm, git push, etc...
- corridor/entrance information display
- display daily tasks, tomorrow's tasks, ...
- source from wiki using bluetooth of USB
- low-energy consumption (e-ink, LED, ...) with indepandant source (solar pannels like solib)
- lightweight
- check picture panels
- high-low tech projects at MIT media lab
- e-Textile craft, computational wallpaper and other low-cost DIY principles
- consider much lower-tech version
- crontab + diff + inkjet printer
- Wireless Switchs
- existing solution
- eletrical adapter + wifi + switch on/off
- Nanoradio products NRG731 - 802.11b/g single chip SiP (System in Package)
- 802.11b/g complieant Wireless LAN System-in-Package (SiP) solution
- Total system footprint 7,95x7,95 mm
- Zigbee/802.15.4 starting at $23 at SparkFun Electronics
- centralized control pannel
- echo "* * 1 * * * cleanhouse" >> crontab
- generic device (IP + API + wheels + connectivity) in houses with plugs for electricity but also water, etc
- different roombas with wifi/bluetooth support (at least their docking stations)
- basically each main component (eventually room) of Projetautonomieenergetique should follow the principle of Cognition#OptimizableModelPerPage
- meaning that each component should have a model of itself, it's activity data and an optimization process
