Research prototype of a fabric water-bottle sleeve with sensors and a small display showing a virtual pet. Drinking, standing, and refilling act as pet-care actions. A 20-student two-week study reported higher water intake and more movement episodes, alongside noted design tensions around guilt and focused work.

Concrete first-deployment data on a novel pet-based desk-side wellness device, with explicit design tensions flagged. Useful for anyone prototyping habit-formation hardware for desk workers.
