The alarm picks up weather and travel reports via RSS wi-fi feed, calculating the travel time needed to get to work, according to the weather. Instead of setting the alarm for the time you wish to wake, you programme it for the time you want to reach your place of work and let the alarm plan a stress-free wake up time to incorporate low carbon travel.
Act Alarm clock has three main functions, a projector displaying data on the ceiling when the alarm is triggered, a three-day weather report, and personal incentives on burning calories and financial savings to make travel easier and less stressful.
Sustainable product design student Samuel Young, a keen cyclist, came up with the idea as a way of encouraging people to walk or cycle to work: “Good weather reports mean you’ll have time to use sustainable transport, to walk or cycle, and cut your use of carbon fuel.”
Samuel is among final year sustainable product design students showcasing their innovations at an exhibition this Friday and Saturday (30 and 31 May) at The Basement in Kensington Street, 香港最快开奖现场直播资料.
