Explorations in techniques and form generation with the potter's rib.

This prototype shows a lamp with 3 phases. We know that different light has different effects on people. This lamp provide people suitable light according to different activity. Phase one is working light -- a blueish light that helps with concentration. Phase two is a yellowish light that suit for relaxing daily life. Phase three is party time, when the light will change according to the music.

A refrigerator, in the future may have the ability to know and report the quantities of beverages stored in it. This project is an attempt to create one such system which detects the level of the beverage available and reports it to the cloud. The system utilizes diffused ambient light and light dependent resistors to check the level of the beverage.

Right type of music playing according to the light of environment and the pressure level people give to the sensor.

We all have stubbed our toe on tables and chairs while searching for the light switch in the dark. And many times we reach our bed and realize that we forgot to switch off the light and we are annoyed to get back up. Intuitive Light offers a clever solution to this problem. As the light coming from your window reduces and the ambient light becomes dull, the Intuitive Light switches on the light in your home so you are never in the dark. And when you go to sleep, the system detects your presence on the bed and switches off the main light and switches on the night lamp/light.

This project is a orientation detection with feedback to a RGB LED. Orientation of the device is detected by two vertically oriented tilt sensors and depending on which side is up, LED shines a different color.

Used for connected home theater systems

How can I get to the bathroom in the middle of the night without bumping into things in my way? If the light switch was near me, I could easily switch it on before I get off the bed, but that's almost never the case. What if there was an intelligent light system that lit up when it detected that people have gotten off their bed when it is still dark? The goal of this project is to realize an intelligent night-light that does just that. No more accidents in the dark!t

Stove monitor supervises your stove when you are away; It can tell you: Is the stove on or not? What's the stove's temperature? How long has the stove been turned on?

My idea comes from my personal experience. As a design student, I usually work until late without taking a rest. It is not a healthy habit. So, I designed a smart lamp. Photo resistor connect with a green led. LED will light up when it is dark which can help people find the light button in darkness. Temperature sensor can detect the temp of light bulb. If its cool, the green led will light. Otherwise, the red led will light up and start to blink. This is an alarm to tell you to take a rest now!! Please watch the video below :)

Do you want to wake up when the sun rises but don't own a pesky rooster to cockadoodaloo you out of bed? You should try RoosterRise to get you up at the break of dawn and inform you of the temperature. I wanted to create a device that would wake you up when the sun is up because no one wants to be awake when it's still dark out. This way you won't be woke up until the sun is at least partially out.

We all forget to pickup important things in hurry. What if when we opened our main door and it reminded us to pick these important things. What if we never have to worry again about these small but very important things. I have tried to solve this problem, by creating a force sensitive pad where I can keep important objects and if I forget to pick them up, my door knob connected to a tilt sensor triggers a alarm when I am leaving my house, reminding me to pick them. Don't worry, Be happy. Image link for cover image. http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/rev967.com/files/2013/09/Forgetting.jpg

The Lillypad is a platform like device that you keep in you refrigerator. Placing your milk bottle on it allows you to receive automatic SMS notifications when you are running out of milk. It can also update a status incase you acknowledge the notification so that, others back at home can know if you have read the message.

SparkAlarm here is just the first two sensors (photo resistor and pressure sensor) necessary for an interactive smart alarm clock. A fully functional smart alarm clock would measure the user's activity level, change the light levels in the room, audibly and/or physically awaken the user, and have some way for the user to respond to the clock.

This product will know when you have sat down in your favorite lounge chair, and then, has two modes: Reading Mode and Meditation Mode. For Reading Mode, based on the outside light available, the system will adjust the lighting by the chair so that you don’t have to get up and turn on a lamp as it gets dark. For Meditation Mode, the lighting will adjust to a pulsating blue-green light. Indication lights will show you what mode you are in, and the relative light level.

This prototype will help people with hearing disability to realize sitting in any room in the house that there is someone at the door. It can also be used in regular situations where you don't hear the doorbell such while in the shower, in a room with loud music and so on.

A simple prototype that could be applied to aquarium kit. In the daytime (while the light is adequate), there is no light; when the light gets darker - in the evening, the light color switches randomly among red, green and blue; when it gets even darker - coming to night, the light color varies to any color randomly. (P.S. The color looks soft and suuuuuuuuuuuuuper cute in the dark!!!!!) Another function of the prototype is the pressure. When too much pressure is applied to the sensor because of the fish's metabolism, a line of red lights would be turn on for warning.
