MUG

3. Semester, individual work

In the home office, there is often a lack of exchange, feedback, motivation, input and inspiration. This creates a feeling of isolated loneliness. With MUG, this problem can be solved. The built-in sensor technology recognises when the cup is being filled and automatically connects to the user‘s own mobile devices via Bluetooth. These then connect to the devices of the other employees via the internet. As a result, you receive a notification by the app about who is currently taking a break and you can join this person or group. This creates a spontaneous exchange both formally and informally via chat, voice or video call. The cup has a capacity of around 200 ml. MUG is mainly made of ceramic and the technology is built into hard plastic. In addition, MUG has a charging station with which the cup is charged wirelessly and at the same time serves as a saucer. The charging status is indicated by the charging bar lighting up in different colours.
