Weekend Project(s) – eKitty – Make Your Own Virtual Cat!

Uber sweet! I am constantly floored by what someone has figure out how to DIY (and the things they haven’t, but that’s a topic for another day). This awesome virtual cat is definitely one of them. Although it’s pretty simple – just a little LCD screen that cycles through a few facial expressions, there is a hint to something about facial recognition, so perhaps there is possibility of interaction.

I think it would be fun to make an adapted version of this – maybe something where if you touch certain parts (the back, the head, the ear, the tail, etc.) it will make different faces, or even talk to you. (“Prrr. I like it when you pet me.”)
