H2Ovation is a bottle-based artifact designed to embed hydration feedback directly into a personal drinking vessel. The prototype provides subtle visual cues that reflect an individual’s water consumption, making progress toward daily intake goals continuously visible during use. By situating the physicalization within an everyday object, H2Ovation explores portability and personal ownership as design opportunities, contrasting with larger, stationary hydration displays. The system also enables lightweight social feedback by making consumption progress observable to nearby colleagues, fostering accountability and shared motivation without imposing competition.
