customized communication with the SPHINX
The "Sphinx" is a smart lock that does more than purely keep your home safe. It can also save lives.  In addition to locking your door day and night, Sphinx can:
  • Detect fire and send alerts to both your cell phone and local firemen  
  • Identify and report burglaries to the police
  • Be personalized to you through password control and voice recognition
  • Report on weather and news

My research, along with fellow designers from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts, and Design, revealed that individuals do not trust digital locks. Rather, our interviewees prefered the traditional key lock as they were afraid of any technology hey did not understand.
We decided to take a fun and playful approach to improve user trust of electronic locks by focusing on the end-to-end user experience from time of lock purchase through installation and use of the lock at home. The Sphinx personality enhances the user interaction by making it more intuitive and enjoyable to use.
