Outcome

• The outcome of this project was to create an ambient orb (a light that sits passively in the background and is seamlessly integrated with one's environment). The orb would display real time information by being hooked up to a cloud function. In this case, it was hooked up to my Google Calendar so that when a meeting was about to start, the light would alert me that a meeting was about to start and that the meeting was underway (the way this was communicated was via a gradually more and more intense red color being emitted from the orb, and a gradually less and less intense red color being emitted from the orb until it returned to its normal 'on' state, which is white).
