Robot Face Widget

This application was inspired by the desire to create a widget that could be used as a multi-functional indicator, but would be pleasant and agreeable at the same time.

Moreover, a battery or a pointer-type indicator felt a bit trite and out of place.

So a theory was used, according to which a person easily grasps emotionally tinted data, for instance – facial expressions.

As a result, a small robot was created. Here is how it works:

The face color changes when the battery goes down. When the battery is full – the face is green, then it turns orange. When the battery is completely out – it turns red.

The robot is a little like the Tamagotchi of the ‘90s – you have to feed him, so he doesn’t die – hook him up to a charger.

If there is a Wi-Fi connection, the robot’s hair will straighten and make itself into a hairdo.

If Wi-Fi is off – the hair will become curly.

The eyes indicate the vibrate mode. When the eyes are open wide – the vibrate mode is on.

Volume is indicated with LED lights on the robot’s sides. After all, a robot has to have something robotic

If a mobile network (3G, EDGE, etc.) is turned on – an indicator appears on his forehead.

Try it. It’s free and it’s cool.

Refcard:

Face Color ⇒ Battery level

Eye ⇒ Vibro-mode

Hair ⇒ Wi-Fi

LED ⇒ Sound volume

Forehead label ⇒ Mobile internet

Basic functionality is based on the theory of American mathematician Herman Chernoff for visualization of multidimensional data (eg, Chernoff faces).
