INSPIRATION

As people move away from home, they leave their friends and social circles behind. Chatting over the phone and via Skype can bring them together for small talk and catch up conversations, but they are missing together times when they would get together  to share a drink and relax. 

CONCEPT

Nobody likes to drink alone! With 'Cheers!', you will never have to again. By drinking with these connected devices, two friends can drink simultaneously and get notified to cheers on every sip.

When friend 1 fills their glass, fried 2 gets an alert that friend one is drinking. Friend 2 can then fill their glass and they are both in synchronization to socialize together. On each sip, the other friend will get notified and they too can raise their glass to the sound of a clink.

The NeoPixle LED ring indicates how much alcohol the other person has taken, and it changes color and pattern according to the stage of the social drinking procedures. A pressure sensor can judge the weight of the glass, thus detecting the change of liquid level and  monitors when a glass is filled, as the volume decreases, and when it is emptied thus signalling to the other friend they have finished their drink.
