(Sorry if my rendering skills aren\'t top notch...and hopefully this pic isn\'t too small.)

Emotions often depend on interaction not just between humans but also between humans and their environment. The array of interactions that cause these emotions are as versatile as the emotions themselves.

Just as well, in an age where devices are required to include more and more features for their money, a product should still be able to cater to the interests of as wide an audience as possible.

The ORB aims to be an emotionalized LED system that reacts according to its user\'s desires and can influence theirs in turn.

All or a part of its LED lights may be used, its color and behavior can be changed through a program on the computer using a USB connection and peripherals. It can be used by itself or in conjunction with other ORBs, activated through any means from a simple switch to a motion sensor, timer and even text messaging.

The result is an emotionalization of any number of aspects of our daily life, from entertainment and education to safety and security...all in a single light device.
