Our Idea: Poster // Camila and Stephen

During the early ideation process we came up with a few ideas for our Arduino project. The emphasis of this process was producing a large quantity of ideas, then filtering out the ones that may not be feasible, or are just lame idea. Our early ideas ranged from a smart bed that turns the lights out on its own, to a table that shames the user for not using a coaster.

We ended up going in a different direction, deciding to create a lamp that detects a phone alarm. This allows the user to wake up in a more relaxing manner, as the light dimming on can add a soothing effect to a normal alarm. The light also functions as extra incentive to not simply sleep your alarm, as the brightness of the light helps keep them awake. Below is or poster for our concept.
