Airbert was developed as part of a joint project for two university courses, Tangible User Interfaces and Physical Computing. The goal was to design and prototype a product that is both practical for everyday life and enables intuitive, tangible interaction. Although the dimensions of the final product differ from the original concept, I was proud to present a working prototype that I conceptualized, modeled, coded, soldered, and assembled myself.

The product description reads as follows:

Airbert helps you maintain healthy air quality in your home – without distraction.

A downward-facing LED ring uses colors to indicate the current air quality:
Green: Everything is fine.
Red: Time to open the window.
Blue: The alarm mode has been deliberately muted – less disruptive, but still visible.

Interaction is intuitive: simply tilt the device to the right to deactivate the alarm mode. On the underside, an OLED display provides real-time information on temperature, air quality, and humidity – including clear instructions such as “Open window” or “Air quality is fine.”
All measurement data is saved every 10 minutes on a microSD card and is available for later analysis. Airbert combines functionality, unobtrusiveness, and user-friendliness – for smarter and healthier living.
