This is the perfect "weekend project" for families to do with their kids.
Similar to what Google did with , an affordable way to make new tech accessible to more people.
plot twist: it's Google's plan to dominate print advertising by monopolizing paper and cardboard.
This just crushed some in-development Kickstarters.
Seems awfully-awesome! Only if I could assemble the hardware myself :/

looks really interesting

Pros:

the physicality of paper

Cons:

looks a bit complex to build?..

Ive had a couple of primary school classes working on this. Not too complicated, does need a bit of thinking. The visuals on the instructions are great!
Very clever!
Google over here disrupting paper. Again.
I love this. Very smart combination of IoT and Voice! I would push the concept further and allow embedded sensors from the Paper Signal to push data to the cloud. This would allow cool use cases such as "Hey Google, notify me when the temperature is above xx" ...
If you're in NYC, you can get all the parts for this at the tinkersphere.com store on E 5th Street in the East Village (I'm not affiliated with them in any way).
What an amazing idea!
