Yo-Yo Machines are low-cost playful communication devices that you can make yourself. They are designed to allow physically separated people to trade nonverbal, expressive signals across the Internet. There are four basic designs: Light Touch sends a coloured light, Speed Dial displays a message on a dial display, Knock Knock delivers a physical knock or tap, and Flutter By shows remotely sensed movement. Inspired by twenty-five years of work from academic and commercial designers and researchers, the project makes expressive communication devices accessible to a wide public.\u00a0 Hundreds of people have built Yo-Yo Machines, often making a pair of devices and sending one to a friend or loved one to stay in touch.
