She says the cover should solve it, though--when they go to the doctor's office, her daughter is similarly afraid of the otoscope, but they hang a napkin over the apparatus and all is well. The thing I made is like a giant pair of underwear, but without leg holes.

That issue can be fixed with some lightly frosted sticky tape (translucent but not transparent) over the movement sensor.

Effective against a wide range of motion detectors, and almost unnoticable unless you're looking.

Don't ask why I know*.


*because the truth is nowhere near as interesting as what you're imagining.
