DESCRIPTION
What is a conversation like between a handbag and a scarf? How can
you mediate their conversation and when is your skirt allowed in on the
discussion?
As a woman is about to leave her house, her handbag may
solicit the weather forecast from the humidity sensor on its fellow smart
curtain. It might deliver the news of an impending downpour by saying
"I think it might rain. Go get your umbrella." And after deliberating
with her coat pocket, the handbag may use ambient light to caution the
user if she's forgotten her cell phone.
