Project

Multimedia Bed

This project involves providing a traditional bed with multimedia computing capabilities, eye-tracking, and coordination of the electronics with a projection screen mounted above the bed. The system provides the user with an alarm clock that projects a sunrise on the ceiling at the time the user wishes to wake. It allows the user to go to sleep with a star-lit sky projection, or with a constellation game. And if you play the game well past your bedtime, the system may ask you about resetting your alarm to a later time the following morning. It makes reading in bed easier by projecting your book onto the screen, eliminating the need to prop yourself up using your elbows or a pillow.
