I’ve been messing with my phones features, and I’ve had ideas in my head about how i could use the sensors on it, so it got me thinking about new technologies, or ideas that could use those sensors to do interesting things. Haven, (an app i found while browsing f-droid) uses the sensors in a very interesting way, it can detect whenever the phone is moves, if theres a loud noise in the room, and other cool things, the point of it is to secure private spaces. This is a practical use for the sensors on a phone. It could also be used in creative projects as a trigger, such as a light being switched on, the phone then turns on the heater automatically. (I wish i could be like Mike Rober, and build anything i wanted.) (Picture kinda related)
Large, color-supporting e-ink monitors have already been developed and can be bought, but they are very expensive and still suffer some minor drawbacks. My hope is that they become more affordable and available in the near future, for those of us who don’t need an incredibly high frame refresh rate for computing.
Yeah, I fantasize about an e-ink laptop so I can code in the sun. :)
