Project Description: OpenMon is an innovative machine created by Ellycia Capella Auriga, designed to help individuals lock doors using Pokémon cards. This unique device blends the worlds of technology and fandom by incorporating Pokémon cards, which are typically used for playing games, into a practical everyday tool. The concept behind OpenMon is simple yet effective: a user can scan a Pokémon card using the device, and depending on the specific card chosen, it triggers the mechanism to either lock or unlock a door.
The technology behind OpenMon is an ingenious combination of card recognition software and lock control systems. The machine reads the unique details of each Pokémon card, and when it recognizes a valid card, it sends a signal to the lock, activating or deactivating the locking mechanism. The choice of Pokémon cards adds an element of personalization, as users can select cards that hold sentimental or practical value.

It blends a childhood hobby with modern security technology, making it both a functional tool and a conversation starter. With its innovative approach, OpenMon represents the merging of pop culture with everyday utilities, offering an engaging solution to a basic yet essential need, which is; door security
