5 Questions with Bug Lab’s Alicia Gibb

Bug Labs allows you to create pretty much whatever you want thanks to its modular, open source hardware. Want to create a device that wakes you up on the train when you’ve arrived? Put together a GPS unit and a music player unit with the BUG and you can have it. What about the people behind Bug Labs? Today, we’ve got Alicia Gibb, Chief Labratory Technician of Bug Labs, for 5 Questions.

Bug Labs was at ShowStoppers in Las Vegas tonight showing off their new BUGmodules for their BUGbase. They introduced a new pico projector module, a QWERTY keyboard, a 3G module, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi module, and an audio module with multiple lines in and lines out.

Bug Labs introduced their BUGbase last year at CES. This device lets you play with pre-fabricated components to build your own gadget. Alicia Gibb, Gadget Wrangler, gave a great example of a person who created a GPS alarm clock.
