Create an object communicating with or enhancing an usual laptop (also in combination with custom software /content). The aim is to bring the laptop to a new function.
The idea was to extend the laptop with a pair of strings to use it as a digital marionette. The application i wrote reads out the Powerbook´s motion sensor´s position data and then uses it, to move the marionette. If you tilt the notebook to the left, the marionette on the screen reacts to gravity and also swings in this direction.
The next step would be to equip two or more laptops with the handles and stage a play at your local kindergarten...
