An original idea of Mug-Forest:
A shouting mug which can detect and engage into a drinking behavior persuasion game.
Intro
Mug-Forest: a Playful Bottle system, makes use of a mobile phone attached to an everyday drinking mug and motivates office workers to drink healthy quantities of water. A camera and accelerometer sensors in the phone are used to build a vision/motion-based water intake tracker to detect the amount and regularity of water consumed by the user. Additionally, the phone includes hydration games in which natural drinking actions are used as game input.
