Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Ambient light displays can be used to convey information to office workers in the periphery of their attention without cluttering their computer monitor or distracting users from their primary task.   report on a user study evaluating "Lighten Up", an ambient light display to give information about secondary task progress over time.  explored the design space with 42 light patterns.  chose two for a study comparing Lighten Up against a state-of-the-art on-screen progress bar. Our results suggest that users prefer Lighten Up over the on-screen display, if the ambient light display uses a stepwise increase in illumination. Increasing brightness in steps gives users a sense of rhythm and helps them keep track of the progress from the corner of their eye.
