Imagine, when you and your loved one are drinking at the same time, the cups celebrate this “virtual kiss” with a glow.
This is the Lover’s cup, an idea from Jackie Lee at MIT.
Not only for lovers, the idea originator gave a list of other applications. Most notably is the ability of the cup to remember other cup by the action of toasting.
Imagine toasting to a 100 person at a party. The cup will be vibrating non-stop the next day.
