The GIZMO project Booger Stopper aims at stopping people to pick their nose in a persistent, interactive and entertaining way. Aim of this project was the exploration of physical computing within a short time frame. The process of picking your nose is tracked by a combination of a distance and a hall effect sensor. When the user starts picking his nose the cymbals are smashed loudly together by using a servo motor and a four-bar-mechanism attached to the helmet. The attempt to pick your nose is also tracked by the sensors and a visual feedback is given out by slightly moving cymbals.
