ENLIGHTEN
Smart Desk Lamp
Enlighten is a smart desk lamp that allows users to transform their workspace from a small monitor screen to unlimited real space with tangible interactions.
Our workspaces have changed. With increased access to a variety of digitized tools, we control our work and calendar app and check notes on the same screen. We repeat Alt+Tab to switch screens, check other information, and then return to our work, which interrupts workflow. We need a new desktop working experience that enables advanced ways of writing notes, managing schedules, and keeping our work organized. The design language of our new platform for a smart desk device started with finding the best location to look down on our work space and manage all of the information within the user’s radius of action. The desk lamp position helps users to manage information in a comfortable zone and also extend workspace boundaries.
