Alarm-clock changes modes with rotation, teddybear wireless snoozebar
The Quattro prototype alarm-clock changes personality depending on what side you rest it on and uses a wireless teddybear remote as a snoozebar:
Link (via Gizmodo)Its functions depends on its position: orientating it on the side it's a radio, upright it becomes an alarm timer and placed horizontally it's a clock. As you come nearer to Quattro, it detects your presence and reveals illuminated touch-sensitive controls relevant to its current function....the radio alarm works in tandem with a teddy bear: squeezing the bear triggers various actions including a remote "snooze" operation.
