The concept of the "status indicator" emerged during the pandemic. Recognizing the challenges I faced while working from home, where occasional disruptions from family members made it difficult to concentrate, I pondered a solution to signify my availability. The idea was to have an indicator to help me stay focused and minimize disturbances.
Site of Use
During the pandemic, some people are forced to work from home. For those who don't want to be disturbed at work, the "status indicator" will help. By pressing the button to indicate "busy" or "free" status to others, you will let other people know your availability.
By clicking the button on top to indicate other people your status, the idea is each member will have one device on their desk, by connecting the device, you can indicate your status to others. A "Red" light signals that you are busy, while a "Green" light indicates your availability. This system is tailored for individuals who wish to concentrate on their work without interruptions. By implementing this approach, it ensures that people won't disturb you when you're focused, thereby enhancing overall work efficiency.
