The Mystery Box
Bones over at Haunt Style stumbled on to something really cool, the Mystery Box.
The box looks innocent enough with it’s lid open tempting observers to step closer and see what lies inside. But the box has a mind of it’s own. Get within six feet and it will shut it’s own lid. Then when the observer steps away it cautiously opens it lid again an inch or so every now and then until it feels safe.
If you’ve been following Haunt Cast and Steve O. over at Garage of Evil then you already have a pretty good idea what’s driving this gem – a Parallax Ping sensor, a micro-controller of some sort, and some clever programming.
So what’s in the box? Apparently something according to Bryan Mumford but he’s not telling.
