Summary
Aesthetics of interaction is a course taught at the University of Eindhoven. Intending to ideate
and user test using low-fidelity prototypes to get a better understanding of the interactions
the user experiences with a product without having to create a fully functional prototype. The
course forces you to rapidly decide the important interactions you want to test and to figure
out the minimum realization you need to make to get the answers you need about user interaction.
This page shows the result of the final exercise. The idea was to present an alarm clock concept
where if you go to sleep, your phone also goes to “bed”. Your phone, like you gets covered. The
phone in this aesthetic under this flowerlike clock with 12 leaves which you can use to set the
alarm. Until the alarm goes off the cover will stay closed. In the morning, you will wake up by
the purring of the motors moving the clock. After this you will gently stroke the clock to open
up and wake up your phone.
