HipSense provides discrete directional and push notifications without distracting your eyes.

Future considerations include

* using another low-powered device like Intel Edison

* powering notifications with Azure Mobile Notification Services

* Emergency/conference calling with AT&T WebRTC

* discretely seeking out HipSense users with similar interests (like being hardware hackers!)

* Learning morse code ( http://www.hackster.io/dianaphamhere/tekkikat-teaches-morse-code ) and sending your buddies secret messages
