Our team was given the brief to design a fan that is both lightweight and serious.
In response, we developed DiscipliFan, a smart fan that promotes discipline through airflow and visual feedback.
By reinforcing positive habits, DiscipliFan subtly guides users toward better routines through gentle, non-intrusive cues. Using a red LED and variable fan speed, it provides cooling airflow when goals are met and pauses when expectations are not fulfilled, creating a continuous feedback loop that encourages self-correction.
