Communal drinking is often seen as an important social interaction that helps bind friends and relationships. But what would this matter if your friend or partner is in a completely different geographical location.
According to the New Scientist, the high-tech glass starts glowing warmly when either you or your partner both raises your glass to take a sip. Ultimately this is supposed to transcend a feeling of a shared drinking experience.
The New Scientist reports that “the developers have incorporated a variety of coloured LEDs, liquid sensors and wireless (GPRS or Wi-Fi) links into a pair of glass tumblers”.
This new technology could become more useful than just a thoughtful and loving moment via Wi-Fi. It could potentially be used in hospitals or old age homes monitoring the amount of liquid intake of patients or elderly people.
