My first idea is a cookie jar tracker. It would have a sensor inside that every time it opens it counts how many times it is opened. Pretty straightforward, I want to complicate it but not sure how.
The second idea is a vanity check. Being locked up in quarantine for almost a year, it’s natural to be overly critical of your body. This tracker would count how many times you appear and stay in front of the mirror for more than 3 seconds.
And my last idea incorporates my background photography. I know a lot of my friends have started Covid projects where they photograph people from 6 feet away. Initially, I wanted this to be linked to a crappy digital camera and rest on my window sill facing the street. And whenever anyone would come within a certain distance, the camera would automatically take a picture. Then I was thinking about how we really don’t keep 6 feet of distance anymore, despite the pandemic being worse than it ever has been in the US. So I was going to link up a GoPro and a big LED sign to one’s chest telling people to back off. Additionally, whenever anyone is closer than six feet, it would take a picture of them.
