The one that really stood out to me was a project called Nudge Nudge.

I was very intrigued by its design in the beginning, then I followed upend read some more about the projects. It is a device worn like a watch that alarms when there is a reminder approaching. But to alarm the user, it doesn’t use anything but color to indicate the sense of time. This way it reminds users when a task is near or a reminder that needs attention soon. Its used was used in the study to show times in between a meeting for example. I think this is really awesome because it is definitely a unique way of showing and telling time. It is also a different way of reading an alarm that isn’t exactly direct.
