This design submission enters Autodesk's Desktop Fusion challenge, featuring a notification device with an retractable display screen. The majority of its usage involves resting in the closed position, minimizing space and attention consumed. Upon receiving a notification, the screen rises, drawing immediate eye contact without any distracting ringing or vibration. At this point, users can navigate and open notifications using the touch-sensitive control panel. As for practicality, I aimed to make this design as feasible as possible, utilizing components from McMaster-Carr (nuts, bolts, gears), which are readily available. In cases where custom parts were needed, such as the 9g servo, drawings were recreated from scratch. The remaining components can be easily printed with minimal supports required. Although circuitry and batteries are not included in my files, I have left ample space for these essential components to be integrated seamlessly. Additionally, provisions have been made for a micro-USB port on the back of the device, allowing users to charge it conveniently.
