The Opportunity:
How can we alert people that they need more sleep with an ambient device? The Project Brief: Team: One design and two engineering students Description: The motion of the device is an opening and closing of a four bar linkage. This gesture represents fatigue as it reminds the viewer of a yawn. The device is connected to the user's fit bit and opens wider if the user has not slept the recommended eight hours. Users need only to glance at the moving sculpture to see how much sleep they have gotten based on how much the shape opens up. Additionally, a light will change as the user sleeps more going from bright white to signify energy and having enough sleep to purple, signifying the need to sleep more.
