Any savvy entrepreneur is appreciative when a customer exhibits their brand and a customer is astute in this modern social media age, to accompany brand with their original content for potential exposure. That said, we have created a HackADay three-dimensional logo for Trimble Sketchup (formerly Google Sketchup) that may be implemented in to your three-dimensional printed project.

The metropolitan in it's natural habitat; unaware, oblivious, purposefully deafened and subsequent prey. To increase perception thus safety, we wed an Arduino Nano and ultrasonic sensor to regulate volume to proximity to some one (thing) behind you; easily deactivated per environment (in-line slide switch) and rechargeable (3XCR2032). Beyond this proof of concept, intention for apparel or accessory (i.e. purse strap, back pack) embedding is ideal.


(Disclaimer) TVMiller is NOT a metro-any-damn-thing!

This prototype of a prototype is a mono-version. A stereo version would merely require dual channels (pots). Aptly, imagine if you will, you plug your head phones in to your purse strap which is embedded with a Metrophone with bluetooth that streams to your smart phone...or or or you could PAY ATTENTION! Sorry not sorry.
