To familiarize ourselves with the RFID technology, Giacomo (Naba Milano '09) and I decided to apply the technology to few experimental projects. Among a few different concepts Giacomo and I created, we were particularly interested in further developing the idea of using the technology to make the time spent brushing teeth more entertaining and/or efficient.
The Idea
informational mirror
The different colored toothbrush each represent a fashion style (work attire, casual attire and party attire). When a toothbrush of choice is picked up, images of tops in the associated fashion style appears on the mirror (doubled sided mirror with an embedded screen) alongside weather information and news headlines. When the toothbrush is back on the toothbrush holder, the top is coordinated with another piece of clothing to complete the outfit.
