This project explores how future interfaces can better the world of brainstorming. Inspiration and ideas come and go. The ability to remember, communicate, and realize good ideas will be supported by this design.

Technology used:
Make Controller, accelerometer, xbee modules, Johnny Chung Lee's Wiimote software(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5EvhHy7eQ biggest props to Mr. Lee), a wiimote, projector, two laptops,

Excellent work. How does the system know where the egg is in 3D, so that it is able to do the behavior at 3:39 time index?

@Shakespeare1612 The system doesn't know the egg's placement in space. The egg has an accelerometer inside which reads tilts in 3 directions. Some wizard-of-OZ-ing done, you may say.

@ha3m1 I see, so it doesn't know where it is, it just knows that it's moving in one direction or another, right?

[ha3m1]

@Shakespeare1612 you're absolutely correct!
