I really struggled with this weeks homework, I haven’t been feeling very creative lately and honestly I am not the biggest fan of any of my ideas… but here they are anyway.
My first idea and the one I guess I feel the most strongly about is this wall art light thing that lights up when you walk in the room so you don’t feel like you are coming home to a dark apartment. Here are my sketches, I also made a quick prototype because I have a very hard time describing its function (I will bring it to class).
I’m hoping the function of the light is feasible.
My second idea is a light that sits in your bedroom or I guess in any room you want it, and it signifies the time of day based on its colours. So in the morning it will be a bright white/yellow to let your brain know it is time to be awake and active, when it is approaching the night it starts to shift to a more red light to communicate its time to start winding down. Innovative… I know….
Here is the sketch.
For my third and final idea, I was thinking of making a insulated travel mug that detects the liquid inside the mug and displays a light ring around where the liquid is at so you don’t accidentally drink too much. Typically these travel mugs are not translucent and contain a lid, I frequently spill on myself with these types of cups.
Anyways let me know your thoughts 🙂
