Improved Prototype - this version of the *Holoseat* will apply lessons learned from the previous versions and work to make the *Holoseat* more robust in preparation for a production prototype.  In particular, it will look into the use of "Hall effect":http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/HallEffect sensors in place of the reed switch and it will investigate the use of a desktop application to interact with the *Holoseat* to adjust the configuration and get feedback from the *Holoseat* controller.  Specific development will include:
