EducaTableware
Azusa Kadomura, Koji Tsukada, Itiro Siio · 2013
We propose "EducaTableware (Educate/Tableware)", a design for interactive tableware devices that makes eating more fun and improves daily eating habits through auditory feedback to encourage specific mealtime behaviors. We have developed two kinds of device: "EaTheremin" is a fork-type device used for eating, and "TeaTheremin" is a cup-type device used for drinking. These devices emit sounds when a user is consuming a food item. In this paper, we discuss the EducaTableware concept, describe the implementation of EaTheremin and TeaTheremin, and show the usages.
