Meet The Twoodler from Hasselt University in Belgium. It’s a converted Fisher Price toy that Twitters when your Baby/toddler interacts.

The team explains:

“The software captures sensor data from the activity center and tries to select a predefined text that is related to that sensor data. We are extending the system so it becomes easier to relate certain patterns of sensor readings with a set of strings.

For example: when Yorin plays with mommy’s picture for over 3 minutes, a twitter message will be posted saying ‘@mommy_yorin Yorin misses mommy and looks forward playing with her this evening,’ or when Yorin is hitting the doorbell button four times in a row, a twitter message will be posted saying ‘Yorin is showing off his music skills with a new tune.’ We hope to even support dynamic composition of new strings in the future.”
