| A Clock That Hides Clocky is specially designed for people who don't want to get up. When the alarm clock goes off and a person presses the snooze button, Clocky rolls off the bedside table and wheels away, bumping mindlessly into objects on the floor until it finds a spot to rest and hide. Minutes later, when the alarm sounds again, the sleeper must get out of bed and search for Clocky, ensuring the person is fully awake before turning it off. Small wheels concealed by Clocky's shag enable it to move and reposition itself, and an internal processor helps it find a new hiding spot every day. -- MIT Media Lab |
