Homeland
Security Blanket is a set of 5 networked blankets. Each
blanket is wirelessly networked to the internet and responds
to the Homeland Security Acts fluxuating, color coded
"Threat Levels". As a means to "disseminate
information", these blankets disseminate temperature
change and an indicating light which alerts the user of
current threat and comforts them accordingly.
Technology (to be used): RF
tags, BX24
chip, wireless hub, internet connection.
*This is a prototype. The "wired" version does
not exist at this time.
