Week 7: Creating Prototypes

This week we synthesized our ideas of possible technologies that can be applied to our group sleep solution. Each of us sketched a detailed storyboard of how the system works at certain point. Ming and I envisioned the system wake people up with space display and Leah and Eunjung worked more on displaying information in the bathroom and other shared spaces.

Through the iteration, it seemed like all of us agreed on certain features.

• Use multi-sensory alarms (wall display + vibration) for waking up
• Set the alarm as a time period, not a point of time
• Use gestures to manipulate the ceiling display
• Show each housemate’s status in a single screen
