VOM3K

Ok, what’s going on here? The VOM3K is designed to replicate every aspect of riding in a car. The seat vibrates to varying degrees much the way a car will turn on, drive for a bit, stop at lights, etc. The seat lights up on the sides in a pulsating way just like a car’s headlights will light up the cabin. And the speakers play a recording of road noise recorded during a 15 minute drive.

Now for the big question. Does the baby like it, or LOVE it? Turns out the baby is just confused by it. The smart little bugger knows it’s not the car but he doesn’t quite know what it is. He doesn’t fuss or cry when he’s in it but doesn’t pass out like in the back seat of the car. Instead, he tends to stare up at me with an inquisitive look I can only interpret as “Dad, why do you keep saying the word Arduino. Am I Arduino-ing right now?!”
