Meet Tsumi.
Tsumi is a smart companion that helps your family be present in the moment
Tsumi makes sure that your attention is directed to your family, and that all family members aren't distracted by smartphones while eating dinner.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Activation
In order to turn Tsumi on, flip the diamond. Tsumi will then connect to your family's smartphones with a corresponding app
Rotation
When one of the family members uses his phone, Tsumi begins to spin. If left unattended, Tsumi will increase it's spin to draw more attention
Cooperation
In order to slow down Tsumi’s spin, all family members need to touch Tsumi’s surface with their fingers. The spin will gradually slow down as more fingers are placed on Tsumi
Bonding
Thus, to make Tsumi stop completely, all family members need to 'zone in'
Data Reflection
Tsumi reflects your process by sending you periodical data reports, including the number of times your family used their phone at dinner, the time it took your family to come back together to the present moment, and who activated Tsumi’s spin the most.
