[HCII] Final Project Idea: an-unnamed-yet Baby Monitor

I know, i don't really have time for a pointless rant, but let me rant please!

Cursed Management Project class is making me crazy. You know i didn't sign up for this, and they don't pay me enough to do this. Curse it.

I will not apologise this time, sorry but no sorry.

Down to the real business.

This time the class was told to make something based on arduino (or any other microcontroller board) for the final project. And yes, I have to post something to my not-so-beautiful blog about it. The point is, this post will be about our idea for our final project in Human Computer Interaction and Interface course.


Idea

The idea is actually not mine, it's Han's. I don't know where the <censored> she got her idea from, but it could definitely work. The idea is to make a baby monitor so that when the baby cries the system will send something like a notification or an alarm to the parent via network. A responsible parent would rush to their baby to check their condition if a notification has been sent to them (if you're not, curse you).

I really hope the babies will start singing some death metal song to annoy their parent (or maybe give their parents a heart attack).

There will be a camera that records the babies image and will send the babies picture to their parents when the parents feel like it to a device of their choices (actually, it's not defined yet which device the picture will be sent to). If the babies go out of the sight of the camera, then a notification will be sent to their parents so that the parent will see their babies sing a black metal song.

Hail Satan... or the Vikings.


Expected Components

  • Arduino Uno
  • a camera
  • buzzer
  • microphone
  • Wireless Network Module (High chance that the ESP8266 will be used)
  • Jumper Wires
  • Breadboard
  • LCD to simulate the notification

Circuit Design

TBA.


oh, and yeah, a bonus video for you. 



Thank you for reading.
