    Cup of Java Script

    Technology and scaled down computers are finding their ways into more and more ubiquitous items in our lives. From RFID clothing tags and eBooks (Kindle) to running monitors (Nike/iPod) and even cars that respond to your voice (Ford Sync). Why not get a daily does of information stimulation while you have your morning brew? That’s what the designers of “The Cup” have in mind. They envision a cup that literally pours information in waves of holographic images for your daily consumption. Have a big creative meeting? Then spill your thoughts onto the conference table. Found a lot of racy pictures of your girlfriend on the internet? Then pour your finds all over her head and let her know your a just a little annoyed.

    Third picture from the bottom, they misspelled "physical" :P

    This seems like vapourware to me, pure concept design. If we had the technology to project holograms like that then my monitor would already be small and cup shaped.

    Its a neat concept I guess... but the whole cup analogy of stacking and pouring information... too gimmicky to take seriously.

    Yeah, I tend to agree
