MidTerm Prototype halfway there

For our midterm we decided to create a device that would tell you if you have everything you usually carry around - basically a tool that will not let you forget your stuff when you leave the house.

Here is some data we collected to start off with - NYC Bags - click through to see all the data collected.

From we decided that the ideal product would be something small that you could carry with you.

When you squeeze it, it should vibrate telling you that all you want is there... if it is not all there, then LEDs will indicate which item you are missing.

Ideally the squeeze device woul be wireless and you would simply place wireless transmitter stickers on the objects you do not want to forget.

Also - to make the system fool proof, we would install a "missing detector" on the door frame of your house. Your door would tell you if you were forgetting anything as you left the house.
