Elavator Pitch

OURly Clock is the clock that chimes a song every hour based on the activity of the ITP/ IMAers. Every hour, it rings a different song that is composed of the data seen from the eyes of the machines. It also alerts work and life balance to ITP/IMAers, by playing the closing song at midnight.

Video Documentation

The project is under construction, and the documentation below shows the explaination what is done, should be done, and how things will look like.

Description

The chime clock rings the same bell every hour and every day. TIme passes as a result of our activity, and every minute and hour is different and special.

The project aims to 1) get sensor data from the floor, 2) log them during the day, 3) map them to musical notes, 4) compose them to music using tone.js and ML, and 5) play the song very hour and also at 12 AM.

The project aims to see people's activity in the eyes of machines (sensors) and interpret it in a listenable language.

: A reminder song from sensors for ITPers to maintain work and life balance

Inspiration

The following videos are the songs played at the department's closing time with the closing notice. Around 8 PM this song always played and it still gives me a lot of different memories from hearing the song.

Goodbye - Mary Hopkin (안녕 - 메리 홉킨) 1969 ,한글자막

Background

Working day and night as an ITP student, I thought it would be interesting to have a song played at a certain time. It can give students a very small reminder to wrap things up and go home for work and life balance. Also maybe the song becomes an iconic thing that we can remind after graduating from ITP. (ITP does not have a song, so why not make it?)
