Cheers! | Prototyping Studio
Cheers! is an interactive exhibit designed for solo travelers who often seek engaging ways to pass time while waiting for their flights. When a traveler sits at a designated table and places their drink on a pressure-sensitive coaster, it glows to signal their openness to connect. Timed interactions on the coaster and dial encourage spontaneous conversations and moments of connection. Cheers! provides a low-pressure opportunity for travelers to engage with others, fostering shared warmth and interaction in the transient environment of an airport.
