George Tempesta had a problem. He couldn't remember scheduled family events or even when to take out the trash. His wife suggested he come up with a device to remind everyone in the family when a chore needed to be done or an event needed to be attended.
George came up with a motion-triggered calendar. The ChronoDot keeps track of time and dates for chores and events. A motion sensor triggers a response when someone walks by the gadget. A WAV file message is displayed to nag the family member about an imminent chore or event.

The motion sensor triggers when someone walks by.
