We would make a pair of glasses that would project a computer screen. The user would use a controller and/or keyboard for interaction with the screen. The hard drive could be contained in the mouse and keyboard, and they would wirelessly transmit the image to the glasses.
This was sort of a far-fetched, future type of project idea. We were just trying to put our brains to work and think of something spectacular, but at the same time, it is a good idea.

Place a breathalyzer on every keychain of a push-to-start vehicle. This would make it so that the driver could breathe into the breathalyzer, and if their blood-alcohol content is too high, then the car won’t start.
I feel that this could be a really important thing in the future. To be able to start someone’s car based on the blood-alcohol content would be life-saving, literally.

Trek’n’Check is an application for any mobile device which would allow users to periodically check in at designated points during hikes or nature walks. This app would use a point system similar to Foursquare, where the user would get points for reaching certain parts of the mountain or trail. There would also be an award system if the user reached significant points, such as the peak of a mountain.

My idea for this project is to create a typography self portrait that will show what people say to me in person compared to what people say to me on the Internet. It seems like a lot more is said through a computer than what is usually said in person. I want this to show the differences in quality and quantity of how people interact with me in those two different ways. Each half of the portrait may look drastically different based on what people have said to me. Why does the Internet make us say things that we wouldn’t say in person? Why does it make us act like who we aren’t?
