A motion sensor alarm that triggers when something in front of it moves. I created this so I could tell if someone (my parents) entered my room while I am wearing headphones. I don't hear the sound of the door opening when I have them on, but the alarm is loud enough to alert me. I could also tell if someone entered my room when I'm in a different room because the alarm is loud enough to be heard across the house. I chose the box design for 2 reasons. 1: It's convenient, durable, and easy to use. 2: More importantly it blends in with its surroundings. One wouldn't be able to tell at first glance that it's a motion sensor. This wouldn't be the case if it was a 3d printed design.
