Create a light product that improves people’s sleep routine
Light projection motion clips played together with music sound to help people to fall asleep and wake-up
People in many countries need to wake up in the dark during wintertime. Especially for those people, the light can help to wake them up. It works like an alarm clock with a pre set schedule. Alice will automatically play light motion scenes together with ambient music & sound. While when people want to go to sleep at night, they can simply say: “Hi Alice, Let’s sleep!”. Alice will play the go-to-sleep light motion scenes with sleep music & sound. People can choose the light motion scenes they prefer to use in the App. For instance, a good wake-up light clip could be the mountain sunrise; a good sleep light clip could be moonlight on the river.
The first part of the product is a ring-shaped lamp. On the backside of the lamp, there are light projectors and audio speakers. The ring itself is an LED lamp. The small light projectors on the side can project vivid light images inside the ring area.
The second important part of the product is the phone App. Users can set up the product using the phone App, such as setting up a Wi-Fi connection, sleep schedules, and light clips. Users can also use voice control to trigger Alice to start sleep scenes.
A intro splash screen will show up when openning the App. This is to introduce what Alice can do.
Swip left and right to view all the motion scenes for the lamp.
The ambient LED light ring is located on the front of the Ring lamp to provide diffused lighting to the bedroom. In addition, a mood LED light ring on the back provides a “glow” effect around the projected graphics on the wall. An ultra-low throw projector hidden within the Ring lamp projects motion scenes on the wall behind.
The app can track user’s sleep routine (e.g. last sleep hours, average time in bed, sleep schedule set up and more).
User can set up sleep schedules inside the App.
While when people want to go to sleep at night, they can simply say: "Hi Alice, Let's sleep!". Alice will play the go-to-sleep light motion scenes with sleep music & sound. People can choose the light motion scenes they prefer to use in the App.
User can set up the sleep scenes inside the sleep schedule set up screen.
One of the example of sleep scene is the Moonlight Ocean (slow motion moonlight on top of the ocean).

One of the example of waking up scene is the Mountain Fog (slow motion fog on top of the mountain).
The project can potentially help people to improve their sleep routine. The light clips and the music sound together can create a peaceful and relaxing sleep environment. In the long-term, the product can help build up a good sleep pattern for people to follow.
