Nintendo first announced (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/29/nintendo-sleep-tracker/) its intention to develop a sleep monitor as part of its "quality of life (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/29/nintendo-wii-u-ds-on-demand-gaming/)" initiative in 2014. Now, thanks to a recently published patent (http://www.freepatentsonline.com/WO2015107681A1.html)unearthed by NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1084010) forum members, we have an idea of what the system could look like. The gamemaker is apparently planning to build a sensor-laden alarm clock-like gadget that's equipped with a projector. Since the documents are mostly in Japanese, we only have their summaries and the device's illustration to go by, which you can see below the fold.
