Abstract
The pervasiveness of computing has extended into domestic realms, including the dining room. Beyond simply a place to consume food, the dining room is a social hub where family members meet and share experiences. Yet busy lifestyles can make it difficult to spend social time with your fam- ily. To provide a new solution for family bonding, this paper presents the CoDine system, a dining table embedded with interactive subsystems that augment and transport the expe- rience of communal family dining to create a sense of co- existence among remote family members. CoDine connects people in different locations through shared dining activi- ties: gesture-based screen interaction, mutual food serving, ambient pictures on an animated tablecloth, and the trans- portation of edible messages. Rather than focusing on func- tionality or efficiency, CoDine aims to provide people with an engaging interactive dining experience through enriched multi-sensory communication.
