Abstract

The MediaCup is an ordinary coffee cup augmented with sensing, processing and communication capabilities, to collect and communicate general context information in a given environment. In this project, coffee cups are computerized to integrate them and the information they hold--where the cup is, how it is handled, and whether it's hot or cold--as context into surrounding information ecologies.
