- Design Challenge
- Users interact with an innovative alarm system allowing customization based on anticipated activities, aligning with emotions and preferences. The system encompasses five predefined emotions, each associated with distinctive sounds and colors, offering a personalized and sensory-rich experience. The study scrutinizes productivity metrics pre and post-alarm triggers, providing valuable insights into the efficacy of customized settings on task performance. The most challenging part was designing a sound and color for each emotion because users have different opinions about the appropriate color and sound for each emotion.
- Research
- This research explores the influence of customized configurations on performance dynamics, specifically examining the effects of deadline and milestone-based alarm settings on productivity before and after alarms. Addressing the increasing demand for personalized productivity tools, the study explores the potential advantages of adapting alarm systems to individual preferences. A mixed-methods approach is applied, encompassing quantitative analysis of productivity metrics and qualitative insights derived from user feedback.
- Inspiration
- Setting alarms serves various purposes, from urgent reminders to gentle nudges. However, existing alarm sounds often fall short of reflecting the diverse emotional contexts users encounter. Whether it's the need for a prompt rush or a soothing reminder, our product revolutionizes the alarm experience by aligning sound design with the intricacies of why users set an alarm.
- Project Duration
- The project was started in November of 2023 in the United States of America and substantially completed in February 2024 with continual updates and revisions.
- Operation Flow
- Users do not need to assemble this product for use. They can set the alarm using the timer dial on the bottom, lay it down to activate it, and customize the alarm sound based on their emotion. Additionally, it charges via the USB-C port.
