EE Senior Project: Designing a Wireless Project

In summary, the conversation is about discussing ideas for an electronics project. The person being addressed is interested in wireless projects and is encouraged to pursue that interest. Suggestions for potential projects include a wireless messenger or a garage door opener that responds to mental commands. The conversation also touches on the idea of robot-hand tracking and robotics or chip design as potential project ideas.

What type of electronics project did you design? What do you think would be a good project? Right now I'm leaning towards a wireless project.

From your profile, it looks like you're mainly a sofware guy. What mix of software, off-the-shelf hardware and custom hardware do you want in your project?

dduardo, this is probably the first time i have seen you posting in this forum. I've even asked you already why are you a EE and you don't even post here :D Wireless is what I'm interested in myself so I would say to go with that, just try to come out with something new.

Have you thought about doing a wireless messenger. Anyway it is basically just sending messages at some discrete frequency over a local area. Applications could be around UM's campus LOL.

I am not there yet, but i have heard of other's: the coolest was robot-hand tracking human-hand movement.
Robotics or chip design sounds interesting.

Design a garage door opener that you wear on your head and which
responds to the mental command "open the garage door".
