My proposal for the final project is a multi-functional lighting unit that the user can interact with in different ways to enjoy its different functions.
My goal is to create a product that includes a compact set of services, giving the user the product value needed for a satisfactory use.
It's a continuation of a previous research project, where part of the project was that I explored with creating different forms in the hand building technique of clay modeling.
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
A multi-faceted desk lamp where the amount of light emitting depends on the orientation/rotation of the lamp and which surface It's placed on.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

Another proposal of a modular table lamp with a detachable lantern and bluetooth speaker, the lights inside each shape will be in sync with the music playing depending on the user's wants.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they ne ed extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
The user turns the light on and off by interacting with the lamp.
Action: LED
User Input: switch
Complete User Features
The user turns the light on and off by interacting with the lamp.
Action: RGB LED
Sensing: Tilt switch
User Input: Tilting.
Nice-to-have User Features
The user shifts through different lighting modes (Ambient light, On, Off) by a switch or by tilting the lamp.
The user will be able to control the different features via an app.
Action: Brightness & temperature.
Sensing: WIFI
User Input: App control.
With every mode a different sound comes out.
Action: Sound
Sensing: Speaker
User Input: Tilting, switch
