"For me, it is a chance to pursue entrepreneurial dreams. I believe that the future" connect "affects and records the mission of digital revolution, will be more strong than the past, and will continue to develop forward."
In November 2012, "Long Tail Theory", Chris Anderson leaving the "connected" magazine working in the past 12 years and began the adventure in the manufacturing area of the robot. As Anderson's statement in the deputy statement, he left "connected" main reason to follow the inner, "chasing the dream of personal entrepreneurship."
It is the hot hardware revolution that stimulates Anderson's entrepreneurial dream. In 2012, the new book "Chuangke: New Industrial Revolution", Anderson recorded a new wave of personal manufacturing and new industrial technologies in the context of Internet and new industrial technologies. He believes that this wave will trigger "Third Industrial Revolution".
The Arduino controller and the Raspberry Pie board are the "Third Industrial Revolution" representative products, they have excellent expansion, while advocating open source features, currently developed by small tops into hardware platforms, birth a lot of excellent product.
Kano Children's Computer
The Kano Children's computer on November last year will eventually raise $ 1.52 million fundraising, 15 times more than expected. Its composition is actually quite simple, with only one 8G SD card, a USB keyboard, an external power supply, several different colors cable and plastic template, and a berry PC.
Kano looks very low, but it is as long as $ 99. The development team said that they started Kano because they would like to understand digital culture through assembling computers, "Anyone can make a computer anywhere, enjoy the fun of it."
Russian square t-shirt
In order to commemorate the birth of "Russian Square", Luxembourg Mark Kerger moved this classic game to the T-shirt. KG has 128 LED bulbs on the clothes, and controls the game via Arduino Unoemns and two Adafruit Matrix controllers.
Up, down, left left, right ... Directly click the button on the clothes, the player can control the position and shape of the square. In order to make the game experience more realistic, KG is still drawn blue borders and colored letters in T-shirts. During the game, the T-shirt will synchronize the player's game score and grade changes.
DIY GAMER KIT: Custom Carter
London Creative Studio TWSU Last year, Diy Gamer Kit is a custom-handed handling machine that imitates heaven Game Boy, which is equipped with 8 × 8 LED dot matrix display, 4 buttons, and 1 buzzer.
Diy Gamer Kit is to help users learn to write video games with Arduino and custom tools. It takes about 2 hours to complete assembly, welding and assembly. DIY GAMER KIT supports users to add like music, and built-in infrared connections also support multiplayer games.
DIY GAMER KIT comes with a brick block and greedy snake 2 games, you can also write games yourself. The development team encourages players to develop games themselves, and they even customize the software library to help users make programming through the common functions of DIY GAMER KIT. Users can download to teaching videos and related resources on Diy Gamer Kit.
Similar excellent products are incompetent. Arduino, BeagleBone and Raspberry Party provide developers with extremely convenient modification platforms, Android solves the system's obstacles. After the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter is online, the supply and demand problem of product mass production has also been resolved - smart hardware matures.
Under the plenty of intelligent equipment and the parental group, many practitioners began to try to prepare for online activities to expand influence, Maker Faire and MakerCon are representatives. In China, the CIE Expo hosted by the Shanghai Creative Industry Association also achieved good results. Last year, CIE attracted 374 manufacturers in the event of 374 manufacturers to participate, Asia's largest Apple industry chain, Macworld Asia, also demonstrated some products in the venue.
