Drink-Identifying Cups

The Cipher Cup is the Glass That Knows and Tells All

Ever wish your drinking class could communicate with you? Well, it turns out that designer Damjan Stankovic was thinking the same thing. He created the Cipher cup to recognize drinks and change color and pattern for each one.

The Cipher cup is covered in pixels and whenever a drink is poured, the pixels change color and display the name of the drink. Cipher can recognize milk, orange juice and Coca-Cola.

Implications - The fact that this cup exists is already amazing. All the Cipher cup has to do is continue to improve upon its drink database and I'm sure it'll be a hit with consumers everywhere!
