O Watch at Maker Faire!
- What is O Watch?
- A Kids Arduino Programmable Watch to encourage young kids get started with programming and 3d design.
- This current prototype is made using the TinyScreen kit with associated sensors and 3d printed cases using SketchUp and Printrbot.
- Why O Watch?
- Omkar’s vision is to make kids design their own watches and personalize it.
- His goal is to make it kid friendly by creating some libraries with help from the community, friends and family.
- This is a good way to get kids interested in designing their own 3d printed custom cases and straps.
- What next?
- Omkar is seeking partners to bring this idea to market.
- Plan is to launch on Kickstarter later this year.
