Spreading art everywhere

  1. You could make pillows with cool, physical designs that give you what amounts to a temporary tattoo on your face all day for sleeping on them. Ditto for body pillows. Might be able to do intentionally cool stuff with hair with pillows, too.
  2. It'd be really cool to gamify daily vocabulary with words of the day, probably with some kind of always-listening wearable that could give you points or some kind of reward for successfully working in new words to your vocabulary.
  3. Hyperlocal "radio stations" could probably skirt FCC regulations by planting low-range transmitters in popular areas like parks and buildings to allow average people to crowdsource playlists Plug.dj-style to share with people nearby. Could lead to impromptu silent dance parties when more people wear things like Moto Hints/Glass/BT earbuds, etc.
  4. Picture frames that double as home security cameras and detect when you're having fun (playing DDR, cooking, whatever) and take photos automatically; send push notifications to your phone with suggested photos that you can select and have displayed in the frame until something new / more fun comes along. Can also have networked bluetooth speakers for easy surround sound setup.
  5. Toothbrushes should play the radio / morning playlists while brushing.
  6. Something like a guided 3D-printing pen could actually take a pre-selected design and point the pen in the direction you need to draw for you so you could just follow the direction it's pointing and make really cool pre-made designs.
  7. You could probably programmatically analyze poetry to determine line lengths, accents, enjambments, pauses, refrains, etc. An automated scansion with the proper metadata could probably make music a more accessible medium for poets looking to put music to their work.
  8. With ubiquitous projection capabilities, you could probably sell software jewelry, accessories, and clothing and just guarantee necklaces and things projected onto your body when you choose to wear it that day wherever you go. A digital marketplace for this would make amateur clothing and accessories lines more accessible to most people interested in designing/selling them.
  9. Professional sculpting could probably be revolutionized with malleable 3D projections that can be sculpted traditionally or digitally manipulated and then printed in whole or in less fragile parts with a 3D printer.
