Storyteller
Using the Smart Shelf from my Networked Objects class, I plan on hooking an Xport and Arduino to connect the shelf to the reader.
This tag will be on the book. I will have pre-recorded readings stored in our dial plan. When the child takes the book off the shelf, he/she will receive a call from the Storybook Reader, who will tell the reader what page he will be reading from. When the child is ready to hang up, Asterisk will store the caller ID and information of the chapter the child left off for the next time he/she takes the book off the shelf again.
This idea was inspired by Steven Jackson's kids. They were so happy to call Elmo after they brushed their teeth.
