Craig HillSilence - The 'Silent' Alarm Clock
August 19th 2008 10:36
Alarm clocks are a pain in the bum - hearing its incessant beeping is a bad enough start to the day but what's most annoying is when someone else's alarm clock wakes you up an hour earlier than when you actually need to.
Worse still, if your partner, or indeed, yourself works shifts, then be prepared to wake up or be woken up by the torturous sound of an alarm in the middle of the night.
So what if someone came up with a 'silent' alarm clock? An alarm clock that wakes you up silently without waking someone else up. It all sounds very futuristic, but that's exactly the type of concept industrial designer Johan Brengesjo has been working on.
Silence is a wireless-connected rubber ring with an integrated vibration device that generates a tactile alarm of natural kinetic movements. Worn on a person's finger, the ring also comes with a snooze function which can be engaged by shaking the hand of the ring finger. Each successive time you want to snooze, more movement is required to activate the function - a great touch!
The interface of the clock is intuitive and allows the user(s) to set Individual alarms easily while a gyro sensor allows the user to interact with the alarm clock. Time is visible during the night when a movement is registered. [johanbrengesjo.se]
