Humans cherish everyday precious moments and love to capture these through photographs. But one of themain constraints for capturing such instances is the use of direct devices like mobile phones or 

portable cameras which impedes the instantaneous moment in order to capture it.

 

We introduce, Tangemon, a Tangible User Interface (TUI) to capture these moments seamlessly through euphoric human gestures like toasting, act of saying cheers, bashing cans, etc. with ellipsoidal tangible inter-communicating cocktail pieces.

Our system has mimicked natural cocktail garnishing citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, limes, clementine, etc. taking lemons as particular use-case example. These tangible bits act as the trigger for theomnipresent camera when they are in close proximity. A new interaction of narrative photo sharing is also explored. The project outcome is a high-fidelity working prototype.
