Lynn’s Final Ideas

Idea 1: Refine the lamp from Sinclair’s class

My first idea is to build on the lamp I previously made in Sinclair’s class. The plan is to 3D model and enhance the hand-crafted parts, making them more functional and refined. I’ll add a lighting function that can be customized for different moods.

Idea 2: Therapy pet toy

Inspired by the talking bass, I’m creating an interactive pet plush toy that responds to sound. I’ll create mannikin and patterns for the appearance (maybe using AI modeling to do that from a photo of someone’s dog), tear down a walking dog toy to reuse the gears, integrate a Bluetooth receiver and speaker into it. It will allow the toy pet to chat with its owner as if it can do therapy, and companion the owners with body movements.

Idea 3: Interactive Pet Memorial Urn Light

For pet owners who want to keep a meaningful connection with a beloved pet, this interactive night light offers a unique way to honor their memory. The plush toy contains a small box inside to hold pet ashes with herbs to preserve it, and can light up as a bedside companion. When you call your pet’s name, a warm-colored breathing light will glow, creating a sense of presence and companionship. (maybe add a speaker to it so that it can play a recording of the pet’s vocal sounds.)
