Outcome

Weather Wardrobe is a something users can put in their bedroom to help them visually see what they should wear each day. The wooden box sits on the bed side table, and the distance sensor on the bottom will know when the user's hand reaches over to turn off their morning alarm. This then activates the lasers and tells the system to map the day's weather forecast. The lasers move in a horizontal motion to point a red beam of light at the point on the scale that matches the weather API data. The top laser goes from "bikini weather" to "jacket weather", while the bottom laser goes from "100% rain" (umbrella) to "sunshine". This tells the user if they should wear layers or bring an umbrella for the day, without having to check their phone or look out the window to guess the weather.
