DESIGN NAME: Smart Drinking Cup
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Drinking Cup
INSPIRATION: Experts believe that many of our favorite beverages are not typically drunk at the right temperature.Hot beverages such as tea, hot chocolate, and coffee are frequently served at temperatures between 71.1 degrees C and 85 degrees C. Brief exposures to liquids in this temperature range can cause significant scald burns. However, hot beverages must be served at a temperature that is high enough to provide a satisfactory sensation to the consumer. Additionally, Temperature is far more important than it typically gets credit as being when it comes to flavor. Therefore, having a smart drinking cup can help us to enjoy the drink in a proper temperature.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: It just tells you precisely, what the actual temperature of the drink is that makes it easy to determine the best time to have the drink whiteout burning your lips.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Depending on the drink is used in this smart cup, you need to know what is the best temperature so one can decide when to drink.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: It took a couple of days to finish the 3D-design and then to install all parts.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The material used in this design is a simple glass, compressed plastic coated with silver chrome, hit sensor and a small lcd to show the temperature.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: H:99mm , T:67mm, W:200gr, B:50mm, V:280ml

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This design gives a more user friend technology to the costumer and provides an easy and visual method to decide the best time to drink his/her drink. Since overheated drinks are highly harmful to healthy digestion system, this design has a wide application in daily life and is beneficial in terms of both healthy and enjoyable drink.
CHALLENGE: The 3D-design was the most time-consuming part of the project.
