SigMe

Inspiration

Sometimes, people talk to each other with signs , so that other people around don't notice that they are communicating. Famous examples include blinking to somebody, or pinching somebody to tell him not to say something. This is what SigMe is about: sending signals to people around you in secrecy.

How it works

You need to wear a ring, and according to the movements you do with your hand and fingers, ,specific messages messages will be sent to your recipient's pebble, which is connected to your ring. This way, two people can receive each other's signals in secrecy.

Challenges I ran into

Dealing with several technologies (Nod, Pebble) and other technical issues (bluetooth etc.).

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

A simple but working prototype. :)

What I learned

I learned to work within limited time and design a simplistic product to illustrate a bigger picture of the final product.

What's next for SigMe

There are many other developments we can do with more time, like developing the set of movements, configuring the movements and the meaning of their messages. We also thought about other applications of SigMe, like in football, to help player communicate remotely or in poker.
