Time to Leave: Clock with a Visual Alert
Time to Leave: Clock with a Visual Alert
Prototyping project. Supervised by Dr. Sehun Oh (2018)
Overview
It is difficult to have a relaxing time in the morning before going to work. For those who are suffering with waking up and preparing punctually, this is a clock for them to get a visual alert that it is time to leave. The design was inspired by my experience of leaving the house in hurry to catch a bus. There is a house shape decoration on the top of the clock and a bus decoration rotates and passes around the house as the time goes by. By users setting the bus shape decoration to pass the house at a specific time, they cannot only check the time but also get a visual feedback that they need hurry up. Depending on the event, users can change the house and the bus shape into a package or friends shape, etc.
From the prototyping course and the project, I learned how to choose different materials such as foamax, acrylic, MDF, clay, etc and methods including laser-cutting and 3D printing, and a proper prototyping process of making different versions and revising it.
