Evil Dee Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 http://web.media.mit.edu/~jpatten/cfd/IMG_0070.JPG'> Corporate Fallout Detector "The Corporate Fallout Detector reads barcodes off of consumer products, and makes a noise similar to a gieger counter of varying intensity based on the social or environmental record of the company that produces the product. I came up with the numbers by correlating several online bardcode databases with a pollution database and a corporate ethics database. Of course the data produced by this approach is subjective and inaccurate at times, but that's part of why I built it: It's difficult for consumers trace corporate actions through the maze of corporate ownership, and find who is really responsible. This helps create an environment where consumers have difficulty making informed purchasing decisions.... without the use of "special tools"... The case is made from a discarded steel computer case, cut on a waterjet cutter and bent with a metal brake. Inside is a SaJe microcontroller and a Wasp barcode scanner." Invented by James Patten, a Phd candidate in "Tangible media" at MIT. See his other work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
