People who work remotely enjoy greater workplace and time flexibility, but they also face the problem of isolation and a lack of the informal interaction with coworkers that used to occur in the office during coffee breaks and water cooler moments. This can be detrimental to health and well-being. In this project I intend to restore serendipity by providing opportunities for employees who work from home to engage in social interactions with coworkers. This product allows you to catch your work friends and coworkers who happen to be taking a rest at the same time as you for a cup of tea and chat, in much the same way as you would have bumped into them in the office kitchen until a few years ago.

People who work from home miss the serendipity in the office kitchen, hallways, and washroom. They miss spontaneous coffee or lunch invitations and small talk before meetings. I hope people can work remotely without feeling isolated from their co-workers. This product enables you to catch your work friends and co-workers who are taking a break at the same time for a cup of tea and chat, much like you would have in the office kitchen until a few years ago.

It is equipped with a projector unit, wide-angle camera, LCD, sensors, stereo speaker, and microphone. The combination of sensors and LCD works as a status indicator. This product improves video calls more than other solutions. Video calls allow real-time communication between co-workers. Because of the full-scale projected video, users may easily capture their co-workers' body language as if they were chatting face-to-face.
