Process - Lights 

We began with an intention of guiding the user specially at night and connected our lights to the pressure sensor in the bed. We did not want to intimidate the user, specially at night, with bright lights, which is why we chose to keep the lighting as ambient and soothing as possible. We then also reflected upon the disorientation elderly people have once they wake up not knowing the time of the day. So in our second iteration, we decided to add colors to the lights based on the time of the day. The lights then changes four colors based on the time of the day - Sunrise, Daytime, Sunset and Night time.

We used five Neopixel rings under laser cut housings to depict the lighting and used a potentiometer to depict the change of color with the time of the day.
