Invention
Serenity Now- Do Not Disturb Desk Light is the name of my project. It is a device that sits on your desk to indicate when one is busy or available. This lamp is not my own invention as there are many commercially available options. They range from inexpensive, simple colored flags stands that one can place on the desk to indicate availability to expensive lighted beacons. Examples links found on my Final Project Page.
The Serenity Now desk light will incorporate an LCD touch screen on the top of the device to set availability. It will be constructed out of 3D printed parts as well as laser cut acrylic sides. It will be adorned with printed vinyl labels indicating the device name.
