Auditory alerts for session chairs

How to let a presenter know that their time is up?  Here are some suggestions (semi-serious) that we put forth to foster some discussion.  These were presented during the open mic session at ICAD 2007.

-Alberto de Campo, Milena Droumeva, Elif Özcan, Louise Nickerson, Emma Murphy, Peter Lennox and Bruno Giordano.

 destruction: 5 min - 2 min - stop

spearcons: 5 min - 2 min- stop

coughs: 5 min - 2 min - stop

feet: 5 min - 2 min

STOP! gong - destruction - just you try to keep talking 

Great Idea

I actually would like to contribute something as well, just there was no time to do it during the conference.. Where is the place to submit proposals? -daniel

It Could Work!

This is a great idea! The "semi-serious" examples are hilarious. However, If we had something much more subtle it could work perfectly and function as a timer as well. You caould create a huge .wav file with 15 min. of silence at the begining and insert the auditory warnings at the appropriate times up to the end of the talk.
