By Giulio Minotti, Phonebloks

Yezz, a worldwide mobile brand, specialized in the creation of custom devices, have recently announced the development of new modules for Project Ara. Yezz’s team presented the first prototypes at MWC 2015 with great success. 

On their official website they’ve showen additional drawings of possible concept modules. There are currently 28 different prototypes but Yezz has announced the development of about 100 projects! 

We have selected the most innovative ideas and curious new concepts.

The first module is a weather station with humidity and temperature sensors and a Oled or E-ink screen.

The “Babies Rocket Projection” is one of the most curious. This module projects child-friendly images onto the walls or ceiling of a dark room. There is also a simple version with a laser projector for showing the time. 

Yezz has also thought of  people with a visual impairment, developing a screen that uses an elastic membrane to display Braille characters.

The research team have valso developed a breathalyzer module to measure blood alcohol levels from a breath sample. 

The Ara modules can also become small containers of candy, pills and breath freshner strips.

For the control of their car the Ara owners will utilize two modules. The first will allow to detect faults or other problems, the second will replace the remote control car. 

The “Cook perfect” module is the last curios idea, a camera sensor that identifies the ingredients available, generates a recipe for the final dish and the required time for preparing and cooking.
