Dolls&Blokes – Talking


Group Members

The aim of this project was to turn spoken messages into something you could see in a magical way! The device converts speech into text and sends it to users within range
This results in the projection of words everywhere in a random but meaningful way!
Like you can see conversations, and the feeling of sending messages to people like throwing paper aeroplanes!

It could be useful in situation where you are not close enough to speak
But cannot be used when you cannot see the person
Messages could be randomly transmitted to a nearby device!

1) Speak in to object (either locket or watch)
2) Records your message
3) Voice recognition technology turns speech into text
4) Direct and send message to recipient through movement which is picked up by motion sensors
5) Transmitted to receiving device via Infrared
6) Object vibrates to alert recipient of message
7) Recipient touches device to make message project out
8) Reads message by directing beam on any surface, the further away, the larger the message, the closer, the smaller for private viewing.
