Design a Device
"Beneath the glossy surface of official design lurks a dark and strange world driven by real human needs" - Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby "Design Noir: The Secret life of Electronic Objects"(2011)
For this project, I decided to design a device. We live in an era which everyone pursue efficiency in every fields whether
at school or at work. People tend to spend very little time or does not have enough time to rest up. This makes me wonder
what if people start to pursue "efficiency" for their rest time; hence, the inspiration for this project. R.U.G. (Rest Up Glass) is the final product.
An innovative piece of technology that helps people to sleep more efficiently. This device allows users to monitor their body condition and calculates
the ideal amount of sleep time. If users do not have such amount time to
sleep, the device will release a harmless wave that allows people to reach deep sleep instantly and substantially reduces the
amount of quality sleep for users to be 100% for any tasks when they wake up.
Feature
- Voice controlled device
- Mini monitor that reminds users to rest when they become tired
- CPU that calculate the amount of ideal sleep time
- Device that release harmless wave to improve users' sleep quality
- Device that release harmless wave to wake the users in a comfortable and non-alarming manner
- Timer that allows users to set the amount of sleep time manually (the device will adjust and help users to become fully rested up within the given time)
- Camera and flashlight installed, wear it like everyday glasses
