Since my phone is always tossed in my purse, I need to have it set to vibrate and ring to be able to tell that someone is calling me. Now the CopyLight phone light by designer Sang-Hoon Lee adds another sensory (tactile and auditory being the other two senses) experience into the call-reception mix.
The CopyLight phone light is not just an ordinary light that flashes on your phone as it rings; rather, the light is designed to “flow like water,” Lee tells The Design Blog. Because the light will essentially flow outward, the phone user knows when he or she is getting a call because they can see the light flowing from out of their pocket or handbag.
