This is quite similar to what Anne-Marie showed last class. This is an experimental project from Kerry Jia Yi Lin which consists in a private space for one person only in a public area. It was designed to be use on a table, and it isolates its user temporarily so its user can nap. The design is based on the nautilus shell's shape and it is made from felt. The user wear an armband, a wrist band and another one on the elbow. These armbands are embedded with RFID sensors, which indicates to the shell when to open (touch the wrist band) and close (touch the elbow band). The private space has also an ambient warning system to indicate to the people surrounding not to disturb.
I really enjoy this prototype because it would be great to be able to use this frequently. However, it would need to be adjustable to different sizes because it seems a little bit tight, and it would also be important to consider the way we could carry it along (folding, bag or something).
