Approach

A description of the approach you’ve taken (e.g. a slow device or a ambient device) and a rationale for this approach.

We decided our product to be an ambient IoT device. This device will not constantly nudge the users, it will silently indicate the availability of one user to other based on the cool lights. The lights need not to be bright and fluctuating. They will have slow fading effect for the day/night indication.
Initially we planned to use two switches for separate options and three light indications for different indications – feedback, day/light and availability. However, based on the class theory/lecture about designing of ambient devices we learned that the ambient product must have simplicity and glanceability. So, we later changed the design to use only one switch and two light indications.
