Hey Harry,
You might get a little more feedback if you put an abbreviated version of your blog post up here, since just listing off the three doesn’t really give people much context and a lot of people won’t be inclined to click through.
First impressions based on your descriptions, I would vote for the alarm clock.
The printer project could be interesting but unless you’re proposing something radically different I just see it end up being a slightly more user friendly version of existing printers.
The USB seems like a much shorter scale project than a final year multiple semester project. Do you think there would be enough there to keep you going for 2 semesters?
The sleep space is really popular these days, with the Sense project that just got funded on kickstarter Sense: Know More. Sleep Better. by Hello — Kickstarter and there are dozens of other devices out there promising to help people get better sleep. I think you’ll find that most of these devices are trying to accurately track sleep cycles and wake people at their most ideal state, reducing the likelihood of them hitting the snooze button. There’s a lot to bench mark in this space, and would be a lot to keep you busy for 2 semesters. I think it’s definitely going to be more than just eliminating the snooze button, so at this early stage I might just widen your scope to how can you help people sleep better, and wake up in a more energetic state?
