Avateam

Is there a more playful way to communicate your status?

The Solution

Avateam's connected intimacy device allows two people to display their statuses to each other in a way that is fun and interactive, but not too obtrusive in everyday life. The device allows the partners to display three states: available (standing), busy (sitting), and asleep (laying down). The current position of your avatar is displayed on the right of the figurine using a simple RGB led interface, with green meaning available, red meaning busy, and purple meaning asleep. The current position of your partners avatar is displayed on the left of the figurine using the same logic.
