display, accelerometer/motion sensor being the first 4 for release (though 81 have been mocked up so far). The long term concept is if you want a 'weather station with live video feeds and gps location control you can add various modules together to deliver what you are looking to achieve. I have high hopes for the concepts, and wish the guys well as it seems their hearts are in the right place.....though it's going to be a long (but interesting) road to travel.
