ON & OFF – Personal status indicator

Posted: November 16th, 2009 | Filed under: 02 Labs | No Comments »

This article is on the process of writing…


This lighting installation was started from quite simple reason. The desks of developers, designers and producers in the company are located in the different areas and producers comes to developers or designers desk to talk to them. Especially partition wall exists around developers’ desk. That’s why producer can’t know whether developers are there or not until coming to there. They need to go back if a developer is there. By repeating these steps, producers waste lots time and it can make them annoy sometimes.

I got an idea of putting light bulb on top of my desk in order to show my status to other people from distance . If the light turned on, it means I am sitting at my desk and otherwise I am not there. Which means I went to man’s room or left the office. In this way the producer can recognize my status and it does’t happen to go back after checking directly. But I didn’t want to control turning on or off manually. It would be painful and it’s easy to forget to change the status. So I decided to use a physic sensor to check my status. I chose Ultrasonic Range Finder among lots of different sensors in order to check distance between a point from my desk and my body. If I sit at my desk then the distance will be less then a particular distance and otherwise the distance will be maximum because of empty space.
