It has always been my aspiration to look at a daily product around my life and think about how could I improve and build a stronger relationship between it and the users. I chose to increment the desk lamp in this project. This object always sits on our table giving light when we need it to study at night. However, we humans need a break from studying from time to time, the usual activity during a break for today’s students is to play social media on a mobile phone. This is time-consuming, due to a huge load of information being gained. I have designed this product to make sure that a five-minute break will last five and it will also be a break.

I use two Arduino Mega as a microcontroller for this interactive product. The communication between the remote control and the object is possible through Xbee wireless module. The product enclosure was designed in Rhino 3D and then export to a laser cutting machine to cut an acrylic sheet. Watch the link to see the product in action.
