I’m almost settled down on the idea of building something that involves a light, but the form factor keeps tripping me up. My original idea is a glass-shaped light, but making it might be very hard. Here are some ideas and alternative solutions I’ve thought of:
Concept 1: a box light with orientation sensitivity.
Concept 2: inspired by the Mac Pro.
Concept 3: an hourglass that stresses the idea of orientation sensitivity.
Concept 4: a lantern; this would emphasize the texture, but puts interaction at the second place.
