Netflix (NFLX) has released plans for a pair of Netflix socks.
The Netflix socks are a DIY project for binge watchers that have a bad habit of falling asleep during marathons. They require a bit of electronics know-how and some knitting skills are optional as well.
Here is a list of materials needed to create the Netflix socks.
- Knit socks
- Arduino Microcontroller
- IR LEDs
- LED Indicator Light
- Battery
- Momentary Button
- Accelerometer
- 12” x 12” piece of felt
The Netflix socks work by installing an accelerometer inside a pair of socks. This accelerometer can detect when a person isn’t moving their feet anymore and will send a signal to pause the streaming. It’s very accurate and can tell the difference between sitting idle and sleep.
