Demo day 1 went very well for team MITE! We had a short video tree built up, servers hosted on a laptop, and video playing on the big screen TV in xLab. Our core technology is mature enough at this point, and we're working on adding flashy new features for reach day.
Text to speech: We'll be using a text to speech module and audio amplifier to let the toy talk. Speech will be activated on demand by the video player, and by the toy itself when needed.
Scoring system: Doing the "right" actions to the toy when asked will add to your score. We plan on changing the toy's appearance (lighting, possibly motion) to correspond with your score. Once a "high" score is achieved, a flashy. fun reward is yours!
Idle watchdog: To keep the fun going, we're adding a watchdog timer that is reset when the toy is moved or interacted with. If the timer goes off, the toy will beg for your attention again.
3D printing: We were advised not to print a full toy just for its own sake, but focus on creating parts that we need. We're likely going to make a replacement head and maybe legs, to accommodate the new features and add some room for all our new parts.
