The Fighting Germs seemed a very popular Project14 last year with some truly great ideas. My favourite being robogary Socially Distancing Hat...I mean who'd want the embarrassment of standing anywhere near someone wearing such a device, let alone should it start it's warning .
Depending on what part of the world we live in we are under very different conditions still, some like UK are strictly lockdown and quite bleak still, although IMO we are hopefully going to get through it.
Enough of that negative thought anyway, what I thought was we need a really nice upbeat Project 14; the opposite of Fighting Germs. Something perhaps entitled "Are you having a laugh ?" or "Cheer us up." where the idea is to make something completely daft, pointless, humorous, prank related or wacky. This could easily include animations and display messages, things with plenty of movement, those including pets are good or nice audio. This equates to just some ideas like an automatic ball launcher for dogs, automatic greeting message, think mousetrap, Wallace and Gromit inventions, a music generator controlled from nearby vibrations, an animatronic desk buddy, an unusual keyboard design....etc
[The phrase 'Are you having a laugh' was used by Ricky Gervais' character Andy Millman in the BBC TV series extras]
