This project aims to create an edible product that brings the aesthetics of latte art to a higher level and commercially applicable in the near future. The product will be 4-Dimensional (4D) that allow consumers to watch a small scale performance when it is placed on coffee or water. Materials used are starch material such as tapioca and rice paper which have similar properties to shape memory material. To enhance its attraction; colouring and different forms of motions such as rotation and translation were explored and explained more in the report. This is a never seen before product and will definitely change the coffee industry.
