Code
For this project, I wanted to create an alarm that reacts to the range of conscious states you have in the morning.
First, the unconscious: you wake up in the morning, with a phone spewing information. Nothing registers in your head because you’re still trying to wake up. Hence, the phone spews out meaningless information as well.
Second, the conscious: you grab your phone for some new information. Things start to make sense, as you expose yourself to the news in the world. Hence, the phone also reacts, by reciting the most recent news of the day.
Lastly, the dismissal. you go about your day. Hence, when you leave the room, the phone also dismisses itself.
