As computing becomes more ubiquitous in our objects, designers need to be more aware of how to design meaningful interactions into electronically enhanced objects. At the University of Washington, a class of junior Interaction Design majors is exploring this question. These pages chronicle their efforts.

FLO

Overview:

FLO is for people who work full time, remotely from home. It is a lamp that lives in one's workspaces and acts as a gentle helper to track how long you are working and tell you when to take break during work sessions. We found that taking adequate breaks is important in a productive work session.

 FLO detects the presence of your body and the pressure of your cell phone. When you are ready to start your work session, place your phone on the base of the lamp. This starts two timers tracking duration of time you have been at the desk and how long your phone has been on the plate.
FLO will tell you to take a break every 50 minutes. If your phone has been down on the plate for 80% or more of the time your body has been there, FLO considers you to be productive and will continue breaks in normal intervals.


Components:

Arduino Uno Reconstructed Lamp External speaker with AUX wiring Adafruit Square Force-Sensitive Resistor (FSR) - Interlink Model 406 Adafruit PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor YX5300 Serial MP3 Player (Catelex Module)
Input:

 PIR sensor detects motion in front of lamp (starts tracking only when a person is there workspace) FSR sensor detects pressure at base of lamp (sense the weight of the phone)
Output:

 Speaker outputs mp3 audio message
