The smart umbrella stand uses RFID to check in and out umbrellas in the Brello share.

The user can press a button to light up other brello umbrellas in the vicinity to cheer up their friends or even strangers in a gloomy day.

A smart umbrella-share with the ability to offer cover for others and detect lost umbrellas.

For this project, we created physical display devices that allow people working remotely to share their progress.

My friend, Runyu, often complains to me about how annoying it is to check her mailbox. Sometimes, she's disappointed to see an empty mailbox. Other times when she gets busy, she forgets to check her mailbox for several days and will find it is being crammed. To help her with this situation, I want to devise a system that detects whether she has anything in the mailbox, and sends an email/text when she receives one.
