Alerter Is A Belt Buckle Wearable That Warns You If The Kids Leave The Yard
Alberto Garcia andTenoch Gonzalez came all the way from Mexico City to participate in the TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2013 Hackathon for the first time. Their hack, called Alerter, is a hardware device which when combined with a smartphone app running on iOS or Android, can alert parents when their child strays too far from the house or yard. Using Bluetooth low energy technology, a microcontroller from Texas Instruments, and some parts from Radio Shack, including a battery and speaker, the Alerter hardware will be minimized in future versions to fit on a child's belt buckle.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/5Km1xFz2vcE/
