Warning light
I am very impressed by what the design process can offer us.
In the concept generation phase I generated the idea of warning systems, that warned the user if there were dangerously hot components in the oven. There was an audible alarm, and colour-changing components. None of these were terribly viable in the sort term --- developing the technology would hardly have paid off.
But with the USB Snake Light, the idea suddenly got new life. Because the light plugs into a USB port, and the computer know the temperatures of all the hot components, it would be entirely feasible to have a USB-controlled light that changes colour to warn the user that there are still some hot components in the oven.
From an Occupational Health and Safety perspective, such a light would he quite desirable.
