Illuminating Hat allows you to walk around late at night freely without worrying about turning lights on or off! Inspired by those late night expeditions for water, food, or just the restroom, walking around the house trying to navigate in the darkness because you don't want to turn on any lights. Illuminating Hat auto-adjusts to the light levels when you're walking and even shakes off the drowsiness from staying up too late!
The Illuminating Hat uses an Arduino, RGB LED, photosenser, single-press button and a vibrating motor. The setup can be seen below.

Once powered, users can change the primary color given off by the hat to their preference of red, green, and blue. Walking around the house, the light intensity adjusts to the light levels of the room thanks to the photosensor. Walk out of your bright room into the dark hall? The light becomes bright! Walk back into your room from said dark hall? The light dims! Additionally, the vibrating motor vibrates with ever increasing intensity and purpose the darker it is! Shaking away the drowsiness brought on by the oncoming darkness and night by alerting you with the vibrations. Entering a safely lit area will dull the vibrations since you shouldn't be that drowsy in well-lit areas. Never fear the dangerous night trek fridge raid again! With this hat by your bedside, toss it on and safely grab that frozen pizza you know you wanted.
