Problem Statement

The inspiration for this project from my roommate and my own personal experience. I have known that my water intake is lower than what it should be and I have tried a few mobile apps to remind me, but all they did was interrupt my work and spoil the experience. I got the insights from my roommate that he keeps a water bottle on his work desk in a position where he can always see it in his peripheral vision and one glance at it reminds him to drink more water. This gave me the idea of an ambient display that would be associated with a water cup or a water bottle and would remind the user to stay hydrated without interrupting their work.
