The Bee is a small handheld timing device designed to remove users from the obsession with time while staying productive. When shaken The Bee, will count the number of times it’s been moved and will assign a numerical value to each shake. Therefore The Bee will set a timer for thirty minutes when shaken three times. Through the use of a six-axis accelerometer and gyroscope The Bee is able to track its exact position while in motion, this cutting-edge technology has allowed The Bee to be shrunk into the small cube form you see today.
Prototyping / Ergonomics
River stones inspired the initial shape for a comfortable pocket shake timer.
Coding / Wiring
Programing of the At-Tiny85 with Arduino Uno
Soldering of the AT-Tiny85 and MPU6050
Through the use of a six-axis accelerometer and gyro-scope The Bee is able to track its exact position while in motion, this cutting-edge technology has allowed The Bee to be shrunk into the small cube form you see today. As a result, The Bee is able to quietly reside on a desk or in a home until needed.
