Also collect rotation/acceleration data and +post-process out movements to give a stable 360 video image which can be played +back with 3D goggles (or a basic computer/tablet interface?). + +Enhanced version would also record bike vibrations, pedal turns, audio, and +handlebar positions, and this could be played back on an artificial bike. + +Solar Autonoma +----------------- +An audio "artifact": a CD jewel case with a photovoltaic panel powering a +generative digital/analog electronic music box which outputs hundreds of years +worth of non-repeating audio to an 1/8" headphone jack. + +One crude output algorithm could be the raw position of a turning machine +(probably a busy beaver) tape position over time. Another is interpreting a +meta-stable cellular autonoma's cells as notes; perhaps the combination of +these two ideas? + +Should be engineered to last at least a few decades without repairs, which +means compensating for PV cell degredation. + +Techno-cyption +---------------- +Robustly encode arbirary data into techno, similar to image-based stenography +techniques. Should be able to recover the data from audio recorded live at a +concert or rave; perhaps in real-time? + +Leads to "verboden" music which is illegal to broadcast and listen to? + +Robotic Mouse Cursor +----------------------- +An omni-drive robot encased in a mouse, controlled by a touchstick or touchpad. +Should translate very quickly, so the user feels like they are "mousing" and +selecting over the floor. + -- cgit v1.2.3
