Alarms make it too easy for a user to snooze, which makes many people late or oversleep. Sometimes people even turn off alarms in their sleep due to the ease of turning it off.
How can we effectively wake up a user on time without them needing multiple alarms or the option to snooze?
Concept
Alarm Pod is a device which forces a user to get out of bed in order to turn off an alarm. The only way to turn off the alarm pod is to put the pod back on the dock, forcing the user to get out of bed. The dock is placed on a wall away from the user's bed.
CMF
The goal of this CMF research was to see how we can make an alarm, which is usually deemed as annoying, more appealing and friendly to users with color.
