The Deja Vu bag, co-created by DMI graduate student Nicole Tariverdian, boasts an RFID system that helps you to remember important items like your wallet, keys, and cell phone.
A video demo of the bag is here. Just attach custom RFID tags to your objects, turn on the bag, and you’re all set. The bag will automatically scan items as they enter and leave, keeping track of what’s inside. A simple squeeze of the soft button and the LED display will light up to show which items are accounted for.

A first test of the full system: a high decible level detected by our mic turns on a relay which triggers the water pump.
We’re still working to figure out dynamic decible threshold detection and consistent flow. But extremely encouraging.

Network connected lamps to make people who are apart feel connected. Alex Wang, a student at the Dynamic Media Institute at the Massachusetts College of Art has prototyped this pair of Arduino-powered networked lamps to create “a subtle and peripheral way of communication for people in different places.”
