Social gathering restaurant

Classroom table Alarm clock

How to make an alarm clock that does not disturb others??? Standard alarm clock would make sound loud enough to

wake a person up.

But consider a scenario where we are sharing a room together with a spouse or siblings??

One needs to wake up early and the other does not

Hence I want to explore different methods of waking up a person without disturbing the other person in the room

Body circadian rhythm

All of us have a built in body clock

It tells us when to wake up at a certain time of the next day

What actually signal us when to wake up is LIGHT.

The “master clock” that controls circadian rhythms consists of a group of nerve cells in the brain called the

suprachiasmatic nucleus, or SCN. The SCN contains about 20,000 nerve cells and is located in the

hypothalamus, an area of the brain just above where the optic nerves from the eyes cross.

The cells in the “master clock” takes in light from the eyes

Hence when the intensity of light reached a certain limits it would , the cells would send signals to the brain which would wake the body up

Purpose of the design

To wake a person up without disturbing anybody else

Design

Couples

Airplane

passenger Family that

are living in

a small

house

Students in

orientation

camps

People who use sleeps with one or more people in the same room.

The main factors that affects our CIRCADIAN rhythm is LIGHT

The question now becomes how do we make use of light to wake a person up?

Different scenarios were light glows would be useful

Husband/wife waking up for work in the wee morning and he/she does not want to wake their spouse.

Orientation camp, student wants to wake up early then the rest without affecting the other , may cause frustrations

Social gathering restaurant

More teens are in today’s modern society have access to internet

Internet life becomes the new reality of today

People meeting new people through internet

The idea here is to integrate young teens

back into society

Step 1: People who wants to dine in the restaurant need to book for their reservations

Step 2: once reaching to that restaurant, the person would need to identify themselves with the counter at the entrance that they have made a booking

Step3: they will be given a number to their assigned table

Step 4 : They will notice that they will be assign to sit with people that they don’t know

Location: Republic class room The idea: to create a classroom table that is

able to promote group discussion

The scene The first day of school

I didn’t know any of my classmates

We tend to do our own stuff

Never really bothered to show our group mates what we are doing.

At the end of the day most of us did our own slides and the powerpoint presentation and it was not in sync and we ended up having a bad presentation

The reason for this is that it was very hard to communicate with each other especially during the 1st week of school

Can accommodate up to 5-6 people

The design of the table must be able to promote group discussion

Helps to lessen awkward feeling between group members
