The "Nervous BlinkM" takes the smart LED developed by Tod. E. Kurt even further by sensing its environment with a Sharp GP2D12 range sensor and a Boarduino clone. The project reads the distance the board is from the user and computes a "value" for the nervousness. This reminds us of the tech behind artist Pete Froslie's "Anxiety Book"
