The NOTICE Physical Facebook Notifier is designed for those who like to stay up to date on what's happening inside the social network.
The device displays the number of friend requests, messages or notifications awaiting your attention on a LED panel. A red LED number comes flashing up on the display when a new push notification is detected. The device can also be programmed to play sounds or switched onto a silent do not disturb mode. Using a USB system, the attachment can be plugged into any ordinary PC or Mac.
Conceptualized by product designer Keita Yagi for Cerevo USA LLC, the project is currently seeking a goal of $20,000 on Kickstarter to begin manufacturing the current prototype. The NOTICE Physical Facebook Notifier is a clever and sleek way for social media enthusiasts to never miss out on moments happening online.
