Solution

We found that smiles have magic, they make people feel closer but it also makes us happier in our own day when we smile. We added the "smile" element into our design because we believe a smile is a sign of love and care and people love to share happy moments. Similar to candy, it represents sweet moments and can remind users of happy times they have shared together.

Our concept includes two parts, one is the flex sensor that is put on the user's face, which senses the bending caused by movement of cheek when the user smiles. Another device, the candy ball, is installed in the other user's house. Once a bending is detected, the candy ball will dispense a candy/a few candies. The two users involved will feel connected by sharing happiness and feel excited when discovering the other's live status. (Our flex sensor is a representation of our concept of detecting smiles, other technologies that can detect facial expression such as facial recognition will provide ideal results.)
