My friends Kati, Kate and Rob have been working on a project called Botanicalls that let’s your plants call you (!!) when they need water, sunlight, etc. Every type of plant has a differnet voice and today I got to do the voiceover for the Boston Fern. Ha!
Er, in case you were wondering how it works: you stick a little sensor (er, pcomp) in the plant, the sensor measures for changes in water / sunlight / etc, if something seems off, the sensor (which is connected to the internet) makes a VOIP phone call and plays a recording (e.g. in case of Boston Fern “Whoa whoa - I’m wiiiiccccked thirsy and need some water over here!”). Awesome, eh?
