The conceptual 'Routine' alarm clock has been designed by Gloria Jung as a functional addition to the bedroom for any user, but is imagined especially for those who require accessibility support. The alarm clock makes use of a light-based alert system to gently awaken the user instead of requiring auditory cues. This makes it ideal for those with hearing impairments to help them go to sleep in a tranquil environment and awaken softly instead of being jarred awake by vibrating alternatives.
The conceptual 'Routine' alarm clock features a number-free design for the light portion and has an intuitive interface in the base for setting up the wakeup time. The base also functions as a wireless smartphone charger to further enhance nightstand efficiency.
