DESIGN NAME: Wake Up
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Boarding Time Tag
INSPIRATION: I got the idea for this product when I once fell asleep at the airport after a long trip. Luckily, another traveler came and woke me up just before the boarding time. I would have missed my flight if this person had not noticed that I was asleep. I realized this must happen quite often at the airport, that it was a common problem that needed a solution.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Wake Up is a product made to help travelers at the airport. The tag features a clock face with movable pointers, which you can set to show the boarding time of your flight. You put the tag around your neck and if you happen to fall asleep while waiting for your flight, someone can easily see the boarding time and the text "Please wake me up" on it. In this way the product reduces the risk of missing your flight.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The tag features a clock face with movable pointers, which you can set to show the boarding time of your flight. If you happen to fall asleep, the tag will invite other travelers to come and help you out. It is a universal sign that is easily understood.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in August, 2017 and finished in September, 2017.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The problem of passengers missing their flights costs money, and also disturbs other passengers' traveling experience. I realized there is a real need for a product that solves this problem.
CHALLENGE: Wake Me Up is an unprecedented product, but it needed to have something familiar and something new to attract the user's interest.
