PlaceLamp connects to the owner’s smartphone and allows the owner to set multiple digital geofences around the lamp. The invisible geofences allow the lamp to know how far the owner is from the lamp. The lamp then changes color based on the distance of the user to the lamp.
For example, the PlaceLamp might be set to turn blue when you are out of the country, a subtle orange glow when you are in the office (but not at your desk), and white when you are at your desk – where it functions as a task light. Rather than dealing with “out of office” settings or notifying your team that you are “away,” this automated function provides an element that allows everyone to be a little more connected.
PlaceLamp can also be used to automate communication filtering. For example, PlaceLamp can be set to fade in-and-out when the owner gets a text, call or email from specific, owner-designated people. This allows the owner to turn off communication notifications (calendar reminders, email pop-ups, vibrating phones, etc.) that aren’t related to the task at hand. This is a great way to immerse yourself in a project without worry of missing important communication. -samuel stubblefield
