Project Spotlight: BYTE-90
Get ready to meet BYTE-90, a one-of-a-kind interactive art toy that blends retro PC and Mac aesthetics with modern technology. More than just a static collectible, BYTE-90 is a “show and tell” piece that truly comes to life. It displays animated emotes that respond to various interactions, including motion detection, taps, and changes in orientation.
What makes BYTE-90 truly special is its ability to communicate. These devices can pair with each other to exchange animated conversations, creating a unique and dynamic experience. This project perfectly aligns with the principles of Technology Education and Interactive Art, showcasing how hand-made design and innovative consumer electronics can come together to create something truly magical.
This project is also a testament to several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
