GPS Differential Vector Pointer
Use GPS to have two objects, a base and a target, point towards one another. This can be used to aim a directional antenna (or in the case of this project, a laser) from one object to the other object at a distance that is only limited by your ability to provide the base station with the target's GPS location.
LED Cloud-Connected Cloud
Make an RGB colored cloud light! You can also control it from your phone, or hook up to the weather!
