Overview

Cupples provides a fun and playful way for people to connect across long distances.

Cupples are a pair of connected bobble heads. Each Bobblehead is designed as a human persona, of the person you would like to connect with. Wobbling one cupple will automatically wobble the other. This is a great way for users to indicate their availability ; eg. for a phone call, or to just playfully ping their counterparts.

Every wobble lasts for a few minutes, serving as a glanceable ping. Imagine a parent wondering if it's alright to call up their children, or if they are at home, or if they had their meal. It is anticipated that users will add their own layers of meaning to the gestures and effectively anonymizing the data.
