What will this machine do?

That machine shoots candies into your mouth. It has a fingerprint reader to start it, a sensor with which it recognizes and tracks the mouth, a hose through which it shoots candies and a part that is used to fill the container with candies.

Why was it invented?

My mom doesn't let me eat sweets, and that machine would secretly shoot candies into my mouth, so I'd be happy because I'm eating sweets, and my mom wouldn't even notice.

When was it invented?

This Dream Machine idea has been elaborated as part of the MyMachine DreamsDrop Campaign 2024

We selected this Dream Machine idea for the MyMachine DreamsDrop 2024 Campaign. 

Design Students at TEC Costa Rica have been working on these ideas to translate them into a Proof-Of-Concept. 

 

     A proof-of-concept is a demonstration of a product in which work is focused on determining whether an idea can be turned into a reality, and how this could be done. It validates a product idea. (It is not a Working Prototype. That is the next step in the design flow: developing a prototype is a loop process in which product design teams constantly review and refine the concept until all needs are fully met.)

The students had limited time and needed to use cheap materials to demonstrate the concept. The results are astonishing.
