FoodGenie: play with your food edible interface for communication and entertainment

Abstract

Food has always been a social hub which brings people together for communication and entertainment. Cooking and sharing food are important activities to enhance relationship and intimacy, transmitting warm feelings among people. As a reproduction and extension of the social fun around food, our FoodGenie project provides a novel and seamless system to enable communication and entertainment through edible food, which breathes playfulness into people's everyday life.
