It's interesting research. If it becomes a product it might lead to better service. In making a more general point I take some issue with the interactivity part of the glass. Don't most people want to interact with others and not with messages on a surface when in a bar? If it becomes a product I think it has to be extremely discreet, almost invisible and serve as an aid to better overall service without replacing or substituting humans!

      What about a microwave that cools down your hot food or drink to the temperature you wanted?

It has happened to me many times, I order a coffee or hot chocolate and they serve it so hot, I have to wait for a few minutes before I take a sip or I burn my lips and tongue...

      what if the soap or gel we use to wash our hands and face could also be used to stop us from having to shave every day? I don't know if it's possible but i was thinking that if a chemical substance could be invented that inhibits hair growth when you apply it to the skin then we could control the beard's growth just by washing our face...

      If our world has become flat and global, why not make it more integrated? What if you could apply for different citizenships and be able to hold them all by paying annual fees and by passing exams in history, language, civic lessons etc? The annual citizenship fee is a form of tax which would help national governments collect more in taxes...
