The physical LED lamp is usually mounted on a person’s desk, cubicle separator, or office entrance to be easily visible by co-workers. Depending on personal preference, the light can be places so that it is visible for the workers themselves, for use as a personal flow monitor, or on a less visible place, to prevent distraction. After installing the FlowLight application on a user’s computer, it calculates the users’ “flow status”—the availability for interruptions—based on the user’s current and historical computer interaction data.
