CuBit is a device aimed at bringing families physically as well as mentally together. This is done by making family members aware of the upcoming dinner using the periphery. By sharing information about the dinner time and readiness of other family members we increase awareness, allowing for a smoother transfer from their current activity to the time together, thus making them mentally more available.

Spending time together as a families is an important factor for the healthy mental and social development of children and teenagers. This makes the dinner time a significant moment in their daily lives. However, ever less families gather to have a meal together and when they do, the family members are often mentally not involved in the joint dinner.
