So I keep on thinking of making an umbrella that
– has no pointy parts
– has sensors that trigger LEDs for where rain drops hit. It didn’t have to be precise, just pretty.
But I just not thought, what if I double down on the idea.
If I made an artificial tree, all mini make it something, added in some piezo elements and what not, and turned it into a glowing weather report. It’d be kinda cool to look outside and, rather than having to look for the telltale splashes of water drops, just see soft little flashes where the drops hit the tree. And a flexing motion causing a flow on part of the trunk, to show the force of the wind. Of course, adding on some networking would be dope.
I think this might be happening after I’m happy with LightBeer.
