What is the purpose of your device/toy, how does it function, and who is your user?
The purpose of the toy is to entertain younger children. The toy I aim to create in this project is a voice-controlled car. The car will move when it detects a voice, and its speed will vary depending on how loud the voice is.
What is the environmental impact of your product and is it durable and safe?
The project will be relatively environmentally friendly as it does not release harmful waste when functioning.
What precedents inspired you? What did you take away from them & how did it inform your choices?
The main inspiration for this idea came from voice-controlled lights where sound energy is transferred to light and heat energy.
How are you making your product original and/or using creativity?
I wanted to slightly twist the concept and create an item that converts sound energy to kinetic energy. The unique concept of this car is that it will not only move when it detects sound, but its speed will change when the loudness of the voice changes.
