Bun

Spring 2023 Smart Products Project


INTRODUCTION


Bun is a playful timer which doubles as a pen/pencil accessory. It can help the user work efficiently during brainstorm sessions. It features a tiny figurine which gets launched after the timer runs out.

The act of resetting the timer allows for a break/refresher between sketches. The mechanism utilizes a rotary encoder and servo motor for its functionality.

The perfect companion for the Industrial Designer.

Rotate the timer to set the time. Each click represents a minute

Press the button to start the clock. It will glow, indicating that the timer is on.

Once the alarm gets triggered, the mini figurine will get launched off the end.
