hi!Mood is a wi-fi device which generates led patterns and plays music in sync with your mood. It “automagically” selects and plays the tracks which best fit how you feel, associating to each song the coolest and most appropriate RGB (red-green-blue) LED light pattern. You can interact with hi!Mood through a mobile app interface, setting the desired mood (like “happy” or “epic”) and, optionally, a time at which the appropriate music/lights matching the mood should start.
hi!Mood is being developed by A-Pole, a mobile application development studio which is creating innovative mobile apps to know more about the world around you and interact simply with everyday electronic objects. A hi!Mood prototype was hacked together by A-Pole during Hackitaly 2012 ( more info ).
A-Pole is taking care of the electronic core, the design is our business!
Our community should imagine and design the hi!Mood case: it must contain the controller board (10 x 5 x 5 cm), emit led patterns and play music through a speaker. If you manage to combine style with functionality, proposing a uniquely cool product design there is a big prize for you!
Check the brief to know more about technical requirements, conditions and submission deadline.
Good luck! May the best designer win!
