- A stair lift for stuff, not people. Retrofits onto any stairs and self-locks without damaging the stairs or blocking the path. Allows you to bring groceries, laundry, senior dogs up and down stairs with the push of a button. Currently can pull 50lbs.

- A bracelet with tiny camera that's pointed at your hand palm and transmits pictures of the stuff you're holding and where you've put it down locally to your phone. Pictures are sent to a quantized CLIP which allows you to search for anything you've lost without needing to attach an airtag to it. Works decently well and is great for 'power losers' like those with ADHD-I. Has a privacy slider and nothing goes to the cloud.

Would love to hear from anyone interested > hi @ hitch-home dot com

I attached a USB camera to a projector pointing at a table and made a tool for DMs to organize immersive Dungeons and Dragons games where players can interact with the game using gestures through a hand tracking deep learning model and the DM can generate graphics on the fly using generative models. Tried it in a session at work once and it was an instant hit. You can pick up characters and move them, inspect their stats by hovering over them, change weapons. Built-in auto-calibration of the camera by projecting points and registering them with the camera. https://github.com/Achllle/intim-dnd
