A connected lamp kit for connecting people

Keeping distance has become a routine in the effect of COVID-19. It is not easy to maintain a stable life emotionally because you are isolated by others. In the past year, self-harm attempts and depression patients also increased. What if someone heartily agrees that you are holding up well? We still have to work alone and rest alone, but could feel like being comforted.

This idea product is a lamp designed to feel a bond with others. However, you cannot see the other person's face or hear their voice, and you can share your heart with a gesture that looks like holding a lamp with your hand. Anonymity is guaranteed because the signal is transmitted only by the light and touch of the lamp.

The lamp is a DIY kit type product that is easily assembled. It is motivated by a scene where people are putting their hands on each other. It responds to touch and communicates with other lamps over the network.

First of all, tapping the lamp lightly turns the light on or off. Holding it for a few seconds sends a signal to another lamp through the network, and the lamp's light fades. All lamps will flash when connected to other lamps. At this point, if someone touches their lamps, the light of all lamps becomes stronger.

You can see if other people have reacted by the change of light. Although reality is isolated, it can give you a sense of security as if you belong to a community.

There are various modes so you can use it like a mood light. We may be in a bitter situation that you should be alone, but it is an idea product in the Corona era.
