Immersive Time Management

Calendars are all pretty boring to look at. A majority of them do the job they're intended to do, but lack visuals to help the user make sense of the data, and don't often show the progression of time. Here are the boards I produced to pitch the idea.



The idea behind this project is to design and build a physical 'calendar', that could be displayed in a room. This would show events, appointments and activities to its users in a physical manner, that constantly moves with the progression of time, and relays the information directly to the person it concerns.



Throughout this project, I will be researching existing calendar applications (online, offline and non-computer based), and assess the major differences between them. I'll also look at combining multi-platform calendars and timetables together, to use aspects of each type and create a more dynamic, physical time management system.



Here are a few ideas, where data from a computer based calendar may then be used to shape a visual, and physical representation of the events. Over the coming weeks, I will be building prototypes of some initial ideas, then gather results from user testing to develop the ideas.
