IDEA: The Connected Vulva
Problem: In an era where the Internet Of Things is ubiquitous, with billions of connected devices snitching data from everyday citizens all around the world, I decided to bring the "Origin of the world"; into the XXI century !
Solution:
My goal is to build a "connected vulva". This disruptive innovation will be able to sense touch, shakes, musical vibrations and interact with the user through an addictive process of rewarding light patterns (and maybe a few ad sounds). Because Steve Jobs's soul is still amongst us, hidden in the kernel of all Apple devices, it will be of course cordless and waterproof with every sub-systems such as capacitive touch, neo-pixels LEDs, Bluetooth antenna, micro controller, battery and even an induction pad encased inside a transparent protective resin. Plus some glow-in-the-dark effect for when you need it at night. Through a user-centric and agile development, we will bring this prototype into reality ! Because what you see now is just a regular vulva casting with a few LED's under it.... But as they say in the Silicon Valley, "Fake it until you can make it !".

More seriously, I'm an artist and i make body art and life casting. I'd like to build a funny IoT gadget in the form of a vulva. My plan is to encase a Adafruit Circuit Playground Bluefruit inside clear epoxy or silicon, with a battery and induction pad (and maybe some capacitative touch thingies). But I'd like it to be more than useless : i want it to be time consuming, like a Tamagotchi. And annoying with a lot of notifications and other addictive tools used by social networks. Maybe it will reward its user with nice rainbow colors for example, if you pet it long enough....Maybe it can make some music...

I have everything needed to build it here at my flat, even some extra sensors and switches. I'm just unsure about the code part (Over the air updates anyone?), and the whole UX thing. How to make a useless but addictive gadget ? I'd be happy to get some help to make this project happen !
