A Bluetooth dongle that tells me when my fly is down.
- zcdziura 12y agoThat's genius.
- wavefunction 12y agoThanks, and that's my great contribution to humanity folks. Now I'm going to retire to the rocking chair on the porch and reminisce about the good-ole-days when I first conceived of the Bluetooth fly-zipper.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoThe 'dingle dongle'?
- TeMPOraL 12y agoMaybe it could be done with an iBeacon attached to your zipper?
- wavefunction 12y agoWell, I figure the zipper would have built-in Bluetooth so it would alert me when I start to travel some distance while down.
- ewzimm 12y agoYou could probably figure out if you're dangling without a dongle by using your accelerometer. The key would be to see if there is any measurable difference between your pace when your fly is zipped versus when unzipped. You may need to get seed data by walking around a bit in either state in each of your pants. If it's precise enough, it could then detect which pants you are wearing and the state of the fly based on differences in your movement. If it's not quite there yet, the user could just select pants at the start of the day to use the right data set. There you go. Build your company.
