FRANKENSTEIN

These hacked Tamagochi respond to input using alternative sensory methods than the usual buttons. Each toy is ‘kept alive’ with an elaborate sensory apparatus, one that is more difficult to maintain than the toy itself.

Different case configurations can be purchased-- spiky for the untouchable tamagochi, soft and stretchable for the squeezable tamagochi. Fashionable tamagochi features a "skin" that degrades, scabs over, and sloughs away every six weeks, an accelerated life/deathcycle that requires constant upgrades.

Multiple skins and keychain attachments can be added as well, improving the well-being of the user as well as the
feeding cycle of the tamagochi.

This tama is like a neurotic friend. Bluetooth connectivity allows it to "see" phone calls, if a certain threshold of calls is not met, becomes "depressed" and kills itself. Using a carbon dioxide detector,
this tama is fed by breathing on it.
Using a hormone detector, this
tama is fed by the presence of
those who have recently had sex.
Using audio sensors, feed this
tama with a whisper. Be careful,
loud talking will kill it.
This tama is like a sex toy
(dildo or butt plug). It requires
constant warmth and pressure to
keep it alive.
This tama likes to drink. Using a
biological sensor, it can detect the
presence of liquor. It needs to
“smell” alcohol in order to live, too
much makes it sleepy.
This tama wants to be a surgical
instrument. It requires hemoglobin
(blood) to keep it alive; doctors
protest that it's too much work to
keep an electronic pet and a patient
alive at the same time.
