Hunch: Audible Notification Taxonomy (Requires an Electric Imp)

Hunch: Audible Notification Taxonomy

This project relays a series of beeps in such a manner that the person whose device triggers the beeps can decode the information and know who is triggering a notification. This project recieves a 'fake notification' using the web UI. Of course for it to be useful this would need to be integrated into a modern phone OS or perhaps some sort of wearable. This was more of a psychology experiment than an actual project. After an hour of practice, I could listen to the noises generated and tell you which of the example situations triggered the audio.

Internet of Things Hack Day (2014-09-06)

This project won the "Rube Goldberg" category after the audience clicked tons of notifications and the device sounded like it was playing 8-bit music.

Hackathon Requirements

One of the requirements was PubNub integration. While PN is a great service, one which I work with all the time at work, this particular project didn't need it, so at the last second I added a gimmicky multiple cursor thing.

Another requirement was the use of an Electronic Imp. I used one for generating the tones via a Piezoelectric speaker, however a phone app or web interface could have replaced this.

Installation

You'll need to creage an Electric Imp account, register a device, attach a speaker to the appropriate pins, and upload the .nut files.
