The Smile Cup – World’s First Wi-Fi Coffee Mug [PICS]


Are you bored with Twitter, Facebook and FourSquare telling you what everyone you know is doing any any given moment? Then you may want to look away now, because the Smile Cup concept from Nikita Mokhirev will give your friends and co-workers an even handier way to keep you informed of their every movement. It might be the first coffee/tea mug with wireless capabilities. Both sides of the mug feature ultra-thin screens that allow the mug to be used like a small portable computer that you can drink coffee out of.

The mug’s handle features a solar panel to keep it juiced up – the solar panel also doubles as a touch pad for controlling the mug’s functions. You can use the mug’s screens to display the time, pictures or even the price of the drink you’re consuming. It can send tweets, send and receive text messages, and let you check email.

If your cup is empty and you’re on your way to fill it up, a frowny face lets your office-mates know to steer clear. A giddy lovesick smiley tells your office crush that you’re interested but just don’t know what to say.

This concept device was created for the Fujitsu Design Award – A Life With Future Computing competition, organized by designboom in collaboration with Fujitsu, the Smile Cup would go absolutely everywhere with the user.
