Husbands around the world, ya'll really need to step up your game.
Self-described "hardware maker" Jiří Praus is taking Valentine's Day gifts to the next level.
He decided to build a "mechanical tulip" for his wife that lights up once it's caressed.
Praus wrote on social media:
"It's done! Mechanical tulip as a present for my wife. When caressed it blooms into various colors. And will never fade."
See his creation in action below:
This thing is really gorgeous and we want one IMMEDIATELY.
Praus's "mechflower" can seemingly do it all.
He also gave his followers a view of its structure. As you can see, it's been remarkably constructed:
Want to know more about how it works? Here you go:
The "mechflower" is "controlled by @arduino Nano. Moved by a servo. And light up by 7 @adafruit NeoPixels and 30 SMD bright white LEDs," Praus wrote.
People loved it. It's the perfect, romantic gift.
At least one person issued a warning, though...
...so if the contents of this article seemingly disappear, at least you have an answer.
