We have been set the task to create an interactive project based on the immaterial. There is data all around us, like with the connected everyday allot of the time we cannot see or touch the data. Our project’s aim is to take the immaterial personality data of a person and the interaction with them and a cup of tea/coffee in order to help develop a person’s relationship. Instead of creating a smart device to tell you when your coffee is cold we hope to make a network of systems to get you interacting with more people away from technology.
The aim is for the project to work by using a simple coffee cup. We don’t plan on adding any technology to the coffee cup, but to use it as the binding agent for the project by having the interaction of paying for the coffee link in with your personality. We hope at the bottom of the coffee cup for there to be a qr code either printed on the base or stuck on. This qr code is to hold a short 100 word bio about yourself describe who you are. This qr code once scanned at the till will send your short bio up to the cloud where your personality is scanned and in return you would be told to go sit at a certain table. Upon arriving at the table you would be sat with people with a similar personality and interests allowing hopefully for an easy decision. To assist further with the decision and the building of networks we will provide some topic cards on the table that are directly linked into your personality to hopefully create stimulating conversions.
We plan on making the use of MQTT, Node Red, IBM Watson, Raspberry Pi and a coffee cup. The technology will be hidden away from the user so as far as they are away they have just paid for a cup of coffee but in fact they have trigged a system of technical events.
The hope is that this system will help people with anxiety or other social disorders get out and back into the world by allowing them to make new friends. They would be able to update their qr codes as often as they like, so if they find out they like sport or becoming more adventurous there code can be updated to help them meet more like minded people.
