Think of knowing the time by just moving your hands over your bed sheet at night. The fact that you can know the time even without opening your eyes makes you feel great about this new concept? Hey, this is not just a dream. Wake up, its goanna be a reality! This is what time showing bed sheets talk about.
There are many different sources from which the “PRECIOUS” time could be known. Watches are the traditional devices that we commonly use to be aware of the minutes and seconds. Clocks hanging on the walls remind us about our duties. At office our PC’s and Laptops tell us about the deadlines, important meetings and the party tonight! The digital and analogue clock utilities in our mobile phones help us to be on time. Mobile phones are increasingly used as a time showing device, in such a way that watches are getting replaced!
How it works?
The Melted Clock is a haptic, touch sensitive alarm clock, with integrated speakers and controls all embedded into your sheet. Sounds a bit complicated, but parts of this are certainly possible today. There are three control icons on the sheet, as well as others on the side of the sheet. You can tell the time easily by using your hands or your eyes.
This clock uses silicone and electroactive polymer, which is used in artificial muscles, to work. The slat will expand and lift up the silicone. This means that the numbers and the clock are quite soft and won’t really bother you too much in bed.
