Project breakdown

1) Brainstorming & Group Activity

Initially, we rapid brainstormed a list of ideas for three minutes. Some of our favorite ideas were:

a cup that vibrates when it's been empty, full, or untouched for too long (good for social drinking)

a remote app that allows the owner to interact and take care of their pet

an app for detecting the stress level of and soothing a long-distance partner

a remote night-light that allows one to communicate their status, especially if they're up to talk or not.

At the end, we decided we liked the idea of strengthening long-distance relationships. After some time, we chose an idea of a two teddy-bear system that could poke their partner awake.
