luckybits: birdbox

luckybits: birdbox



luckybits (durrell bishop and tom hulbert) have developed an app and product
that mixes the iPhone together with a physical object. 'birdbox' is a birdhouse and free app
which turns an iPhone or iPod touch into a nesting box cuckoo alarm clock.
the alarm gently wakens you with the sound and sight of nesting birds.
when you touch the clock face, it reveals the interior of the birdbox.

it wakes you if you push it?
how are you supposed to push it while you are asleep?

dear kaze,
you're right - it was not made clear.
the user can press the clock face to view images of birds within the box.
the alarm functions separately from this.

No, that would be silly!
You can set the alarm by moving the alarm arrow on the outside of the clock face... it works just like a normal alarm too.

Love it

Cute, but I don't think it's a great idea to sleep with your head so close to a ipod/phone.
