Dust: A Personal Wearable Companion with a Positive Personality

Baked Dust

Description:
Dust is a 2" x 3.25" prototype wearable companion made of polymer clay and electronics. It speaks encouraging phrases such as, "it's ok" and "you're awesome!" throughout the day in response to human touch. You can sense Dust's presence throughout the day; it vibrates, snores, and even passes gas.

My Role
As a collaborator with Shinyoung Park on the Dust project, I have developed custom software and hardware to demonstrate Dust's personality.

- Hardware hacking
- Arduino code
- Schematic
- Printed circuit board design and fabrication
