Needs to light up.
(I love the above comment as it both critiques the idea and explains why so many good things end up as POS -- mission creep)
Seriously, if you could order different colors, they lit up, and you could stick them on the walls? You could have a lot of fun with these things. (Think IFTTT)
I am also waiting for the reusable post-it notes that use e-ink.
- npongratz 12y agoDone! From TFA: How does the bttn user know what is happening after the bttn press? The bttn has handy feedback lights for the end user: Flashing GREEN top means successful completion of the trigger, RED means error, and a circling YELLOW means wait. Pretty simple, really.
- codehero 12y agoHow would you make feedback work for blind people?
- smacktoward 12y agoA simple buzzer or tone would work -- if you hear the tone the process was successful, if you don't, it wasn't.
- DanielBMarkham 12y agoHmmm. Not exactly what I was referring to. I would want a light to indicate some condition, then the button would perform some action. The two do not have to be related to each other. So I walk in the house. The blue button on the wall is lit up, indicating that I have that email from my brother-in-law that I was waiting for. I push the button, launching a small nuclear strike against the country of Alfredamonia. (Or for a more prosaic situation, the light is lit up telling me my server is overloaded. I push the button to spin up another server) It's a neat idea. 100 bucks is crazy expensive for something you should be able to order by the thousand from China. Going to need some serious early adoption folks. I would look to the Agile IT guys -- lots of those folks would want some big, physical indicator to show something and some simple way to interact with externalities.
