Technology is transforming the world around us and today, the average American spends 4 hours a day on our phones. Increasingly, Americans say that they want to put down their phones, yet they struggle. Out of Sight is a family of products designed to encourage people to put down their phones.
Chime is a bedside alarm clock. Flow is a grandfather clock designed for the living room and Count is a timer designed to help families and people at work put their phones away for a set period to focus on other tasks. Market demand was highest for Count, so the Out of Sight team developed a robust prototype and packaging for that product. They plan to market it to workplaces and families with multiple devices.
