“Myers used an I/O module and servo smart board from ioBridge, a servo, an old CD spindle case, some cardboard and wood scraps, a large syringe plunger, and a webcam to build his device, and then used the ioBridge web interface to create a widget that controlled the device. No programming was required. The system generated javascript that was then embedded into a web page optimized for the iPhone screen, and now Myers can check up on Cooper, his dog, and give Cooper some treats.”

This is the cutest iPhone web-app I’ve ever seen. But I hope he doesn’t use it too much. It might confuse the dog to understand who his master is. The treat dispensing machine or the human.
