25/2 A new question came up - why physical and not an app? We could make an app that tracks your phone usage and prevent the user from using it. We've checked existing apps in the market and all of them did not succeed. We believe that the main reason is that the target is to disconnect the user from the phone, which isn't possible with an app because IN the phone itself. We decided to physically detach the user from his phone.

Our tests have shown an increase of 50% in levels of attention with the object, compared to without the object. Those are great news, but another problem arose- the object's motion is annoying and doesn't make the users want to use it again. In the upcoming weeks we will research motion and figure out which motion suits us best.
During the last week we asked students weather they feel like they are attentive during lectures, and if they are satisfied with the current situation. Reviewing the results, most students indicated that they cannot maintain full attentiveness during class and would like to use a device that will help them. This is a strong conclusion for us since it validates our need.
