Imagine a household study, workplace office or personal cubical/bench space which could be used without annoying interruptions and disturbances...when you're really busy. Imagine the increase in work efficiency and effectiveness as you are able to dynamically change your busyness status to allow or disallow any interruptions.
Above is my chosen concept and developmental direction.
Here's a bit about where the product is now:
Target Market: Office Workers, Work station operators, bench top labours, Uni Lecturers, Studying students, the indiduval whose working area could change on occasion.
Product Interface Form: Tri-Ball Beacon + Receiver Beacon + Clamp holder.
Unit System: Busyness level = Colour at beacon apex (same representation as traffic lights). Rotate Tri-Ball Beacon to suit.
Green Light – worker allows any interruptions, suggesting he/she is not that busy
Orange Light - only urgent interruptions, reasonably busy
Red Light – No interruptions, extremely busy.
No Light – worker is not in the space, gone home, is away.
Context:
-Open Spaces, busy beacon can be set on desktop, bench top for others to see busyness level, clamp holder can be used to fasten the busy beacon on cubical walls etc to elevate and increase visibility.
-In enclosed spaces, Tri-ball beacon can be used inside the space to set busyness level, wireless Bluetooth transmits the busyness level to the outside receiver beacon eg: closed office door.
Pricing/Cost: Cheap as man, however wireless functions =$40-$50 per 3 piece package.

Really interesting and fun looking design, I would be very interested to know how the user interacts with this form. It would be great if the interaction was just as interesting as the form.
