I have always been fond of unique and out of the ordinary glasses---especially those that you cannot just find anywhere---so that I can have memorable drinking sessions. This coming New Year’s Eve, I’m sure there will be a lot of that. But with a glass that has a mind of its own, drinking sessions, alcoholic or not, will never be the same again.
Introducing, the Drink-Identifying Glasses by Damjan Stankovic called the Cipher cup. This is a unique glass that is colorful and has the unique feature of communicating with you. Well, almost. This glass identifies your drink the moment you pour it. It is covered by pixels and when you pour the drink, the pixels changes color and pattern according to the drink that you poured. Not only that, but it also the displays the name of the drink. For example, if you poured milk, its pixels will change to white and the word “milk” will appear. How can you not be impressed with that?
So far, the Cipher cup recognizes milk, orange and Coca-Cola, but it would be great if Damjan Stankovic would create cups that would recognize alcoholic beverages. That would make your drinking sessions fun and memorable. But for New Year’s Eve tomorrow, welcome then year 2010 with these cute and colorful glasses.
