Bchito

Do you keep forgetting things everytime you change your purse?

Now there’s an easy way to remember everything you need to bring with you. It’s called Bchito.

Bchito is small and can be used with any purse. It’s also available in different presentations to combine it with your outfit…and you’ll remember everything!
It will help you remind the basics you need to bring with you on certain moments; work, an interview, a date, a gathering with friends, grocery shopping….

But wait! There’s more. Bchito is also handy outside of your purse in those moments when you can’t find what your looking for. Just place it outside of your purse and it will help you identify the items you need and seems impossible to find in your home.

Yury Gitman teaches a class about incorporating electronics into toys, he calls it “Making Toys: Playful Experience Design Through Interactive and Wireless Techniques.” This semester they’re having a public open house to showcase (and play with) the toys they’ve created during the course. There’s RFID, Arduino, and included source code. If you’re in New York, head over to Parsons for the fun:
