timely is a physical calendar that visually displays how hectic your upcoming 5-day workweek will be by winding tighter/loser based on the number of events in your calendar. Faculty: Dario Buzzini, Massimo Banzi Students: Daan Weijers, Luuk Rombouts, Kate Twomey, Leila Byron Created in cooperation with Arduino as part of CIID's IDP 2016. https://blog.arduino.cc/2016/04/26/explore-your-weekly-calendar-through-a-tangible-interface/

We first tried to dye flowers as a visual
representation of data…

3. /
But after multiple failed experiments…

4. /
It was back to the
drawing board…

5. Where we focused on tension/stress and it’s
relationships to how full your calendar is.

Introducing, timely …

7. A simple, visual way to forecast your work week and manage
imbalances in your day.

8. /
2 Arduino Makers
5 Stepper Motors
15 Metal Rods acting as
5 Capacitive Sensors
Lots of MDF
What we used:

9. Next steps:
• Calculate time in-between meetings
• Make it location based
• Other APIs to make stress/tension more accurate (ie. FitBit)
• Differentiation of calendar’s event-types to get a more well-
rounded understanding of each event
