self surveillance to beware your own ass of spectators

by amy khoshbin alias tinyscissors: when your „coin slot“ is exposed, this wearable hip-pack vibrates that area to make you aware of it. you decide to cover up, or let it all hang out.

tech summary: using a Lilypad Arduino, vibrating motor, and a photoresistor (measures the amount of light in your coin slot), you will make a wearable apparatus. when the photoresistor/your coin slot is covered, the hip-pack is at rest, when it/your coin slot is exposed, this triggers the vibrating motor to start vibrating & let the user know.
