Poke'a'Pig



Poke’a'Pig, originally uploaded by ka-d.

This was our finished product. A wooden pig, treated with fat soap, with the Tikitag reader embedded (you can see the usb cabel sticking out the back instead of a tail) and four poking tools: the Apple (eating sounds), the branding iron (squeeling), the feather (pig laughing, can you believe it?) and the hand (regular pig oink oink). The handle of the poking stick has a spring in it to fake the sensation of poking something soft such as a pigs flesh.

  • If I may, this definitely deserves a video demonstration on YouTube.

    Would you be up for making another? I just started with tikitag this week as they’re developer community manager, and we would love to have one. Drop me an email if you’d like to discuss terms. :)
