1) Which type of material or design should I use to make a bracelet
that will be a perfect fit for everyone?
that will be a perfect fit for everyone?
Well in my opinion I’d probably go
after arm sweat bands they are flexible and comfortable and big enough to
install your lights(These can come in different colors too or designs) If it is
too boyish I can say I would probably cut it into a wavy design and then
implement the lights plus sweatbands can stretch to its host.

2) Which other ways of communication through different hand
gestures will be cool to display through my new bracelets?
gestures will be cool to display through my new bracelets?
-Maybe if they are playing one of
those hand games the wrist band would play a nice tune in the background to
keep your game in beat.

-Or if you put your fingers through
the other persons hand it would turn

lovers to wear)

-Or if you want thumb wrestling
could get like a flashing kind of green until they release and the game is
over.

Then there are peace signs and the
bracelet could show the peace colors.

-Or if it was at a certain game
like for instance you knew you were going to the Bull’s game you would set it
up for the event you are going to so maybe flash red.

3) Would adding noises to the bracelets be a cool affect?
Video game sound effects,
as the winning sound
getting a coin(maybe you can set it
as a pedometer and you get a coin sound for ever mile you walk or something)

A happy jingle
For holidays Christmas songs for interaction

Windmail: Response
1) The windmill I do remember you
have to press the switch to set the wheel free to go in motion, which is able to
move with the wind. Well maybe you can make a lever that pulls the stick that
is stopping the wheel to go in motion.(A servo probably? I would allow the
servo to stay in one angle for like a good minute then to return to how it was
previously forcing you to press the switch again to allow motion) Then I would
say get a normal fan to produce air and let the windmill move.

2) Well if there was a motor for the switch that would be
one aspect to hook up to the arduino I believe, the switch is another(probably
look up button schematic), photoresistor and light switch , servo code maybe,
It probably is possible just hook them to activate with the switch. But the
photoresistor and the light is another aspect of your project, I’d say one code
for the switch another for the light activated one but you probably(I don’t
know) can try to ask if arduino could do more functions and maybe you can
jumble all this code together.

3)Trying to remember that game, the fun part of the game was
plants. I don’t remember but I remember a part of the game where you had to get
exotic plants and plant them around town to decorate maybe you could make them
activate a light on the windmill(use the potted plant to activate the light
when you put them within their designated planted area. OR make the led the
plant itself that is activated when you
set the plant in the place.)

1)
Love the concept, it is hard to kind of
interpret a movement to move as unique and weird as the wishbone. But you maybe
can attach more stuff to the servos that while it moves two movements are
occurring with that servo, so probably include another figure. Servos are
really complicated as too much weight can slow it down or maybe even not allow
it to go in motion. If the mannequin is light enough I say use it. But maybe a
cutout of a paper man sweeping. Include the rotating motor to have a angled
stick attached to it. Attach that to another guy’s arm or paper arm. Then see a
nice rotating movement of the guys arm kinda petting the cat. But I know there
is a way to manipulate standard things you see to get weirder movements.

If you find different sizes I say go for it, if
it is more stronger too I say go for more daring movements try to get a man
running in mid air(like the god who turns day into night) but that is just me .

Maybe you can include a motion sensor that
senses movement and you get that nervous sweeping mannequin trying to avoid a
conversation just like the angry feet video we saw previously to react to sound
or movement.
