In this episode of the IoT Buzz Podcast hosts Andrew Romeo and Hamed Ghajarnia are joined by Amir Faraji, CEO at Otared. Amir’s company has made Muggino® Smart Mug which is the world's first eco-friendly and self-powered mug and this episode features the conversation as the three of them talk about building an IoT product and focusing on the user experience when designing such products.



When talking about his smart innovation, Muggino, Amir shares how the cup can self-regulate its internal temperature and provide the user with an optimal experience based on their preference. Differentiating the product from other smart cups in the market, Amir adds, Muggino is unique in the sense that it also allows the drink to become chilling cold. And all this can be easily configured via the smartphone app or physical interface.
