T4UMATA

In a world where smart technology increasingly means giving up your autonomy, T4umata takes the smart home in an alternate direction. T4utmata is a series of automata that actuate buttons and knobs around the home. You choose where to place the automata. You choose how to activate them, with customised gestures or sounds. All without the internet.
