VillaVoice gives home-owners the ability to turn on the heat while they are heading home from work, switch lights on or off, and control appliances like a child's video game system if it happened to be late and past their bedtime. VillaVoice uses X10 devices, an open source API, and Python wrapped together with an elegant speech interface.

fittracker logo

Fitracker allows an athlete to either specify a specific muscle workout (lbs/sets/reps) or use a shortcut to simply indicate that their workout was 'on target' (indicating that the workout was the same as last time) or 'below' or 'above' target - and, using a little fuzzy-logic, report fairly accurate results. The same design works to record food intake (calories or names of specific food items) and the healthfulness of the meals.

Dellaria Salons logo

The Dellaria Salon line allows callers to schedule appointments, hear salon locations, services, prices and store hours. Callers can either say the name of a preferred stylist, listen to a list of stylists at the location they've requested, or else the system will assign a random stylist who's available at the time you requested.
