Oatsu: An Alarm that Earns Time


Oatsu!
Applying principles of magic to daily interactions.

From automatic, sliding doors to Special Projects’ Magic UX, we experience magical moments on a daily basis; some might be less inspiring while others are powerful and memorable. Magic operates at the delicate intersection of art, science, engineering and design. With an experimental approach in mind, we were challenged to apply one magic principle to an everyday, ordinary interaction, thus orchestrating a magical experience for the intended audience.
– Design Brief by Kevin Chiam, Platform Leader

Oatsu! is a bedside companion that magics people away into a bubble of restful slumber, where the flow of time works differently. With the help of sound sleep analysis tracking, people's perception of time and reality is penetrated such that one can always wake up timely and refreshed, with a few extra minutes added into their day.
