5 items for investigation



object 1 metal detector

response_ this instrument emits loud beeping sound when close to metal objects. this object also requires a whopping 6 AA batteries to operate.

Interest_ i always wanted one of these as a child and i'm interested in the sensor qualities this instrument contains




object 2 spi-dog "what looks like a spider but rocks like a dog"

response_ this children’s toy requires a music device in order to operate. when in the right acoustic environment, spi-dog will dance and flash lights in a chorographer manner. spi-dog also requires human stimulation in order to continue working, this would require a pat.

interest_ i have a musical background and one of the things that always catches my attention is lighting that is used during concerts. maybe spi-dog is my solution to being a rockstar.




object 3 clock radio

response_ emits loud beeping sound as well as radio frequency.

interest_ my main interest in this object finding out how this instrument picks up radio frequencies as well as the LCD display.



object 4 toy guitar

response_ stellar guitar rifts

interest_ when searching the toy section in wall-mart this toy called out to me. i'm interested in seeing if i can add more complex sounds to this toy.




object 5 laser tape measure

response_ displays the distance of a pointed object (15m max)

interest_ find out the relationship of the laser distribution and receiving components.
