Comfort Away from Home

Abstract: While covid-19 has limited our travels, so many people around the world travel for professional purposes whether they work for a large corporations, on oil rigs, in the military, or in remote research bases. How do these individuals find comfort while they are abroad? After interviewing two different people who travel for professional purposes it was found that accommodation doesn’t provide the best comfort so a product or service that allows you to bring comfort with you could have a huge impact on the target market. Not only could such a product provide comfort while not at home, but also improve productivity and energy levels. The final product resulted in a small device that you can take on travels with you, providing a customized wake up experience with personalized soundscapes, simulated sunrises, and essential oils that would let you create a wake up routine. These could be similar to the wake ups at home, or completely new environments.
