Analog Cloud
The Analog Cloud is the intersection between physical and digital experiencedesign.
Projects
Teddy Bear
Imagine a teddy bear with a brain and a sense of place. We are currently building the first prototype of our teddy bear, a cuddly RFID-receiver that informs children about their surroundings. Prototype sponsored by Gentofte Libraries.
Estimated prototype: Q1 09
Rating Shelf
All the books at the library suck. Or atleast, some of them. But the library will never know, unless you tell a librarian - and she's sure to forget. That's why we are making an intelligent shelf, that will make it easy for library users to rate books. Prototype sponsored by Gentofte Libraries.
Estimated prototype: Q1 09
Bloodbook
Think last.fm for blood donation. Let's you track when you last gave blood, and compete with friends. Inspire non-donors to become donors through blood updates distributed to platforms such as Facebook. Rethinking the identity of a blood donor. Currently looking for sponsor.
Estimated protoype: Q3 09

About
Analog Cloud seeks to explore interactive concepts for physical spaces. We want to find out how to tap the collective intelligence in physical – analog – clouds. Technology as a new layer on your physical life, could bring completely new aspects in regards of social authorization and recognition.
This is a petproject, but we give it as much time and love as our sparetime allows. Naturally we bootstrap everything we do, and usually try and find a sponsor for our first prototypes. Sponsorships cover hardware expenses, not salary. So far we do this out of love and affection.
We are webguys and don't know much about circuitboards, but that doesn't scare us - we try the best we can. We rely on projects such as Roomware, Arduino, Processing, Microformats and Femtocell.
