We’ll Drink To That
A bar that can transport drinkers "anywhere" in the world is opening in London. Giant screens at the million-quid venue, called twentyfour:london, will show videos of locations across the world, from a Hawaii beach to the Grand Canyon. Infrared sensors can detect when you are in front of a screen, and an interactive bar recognises what you are drinking at the private members' bar. Cris Calarco, who designed the club in Kingly Street, near Carnaby Street said: "When you put a glass on the bar, the rim shape is scanned and from that we can tell what the drink is - so we can make it easy to order the same drink.’’

Cool.
It doesn't suprise me, they like a drink over here.
Living here amongst all the pubs,clubs and off licences with their cheap booze is an eye opener. And seeing people walking around with cans of lager and spirits in their hands during the day reminds me of Hogarth's famous 'Gin Lane' and 'Beer Street'.
But I don't want a computer reading my drinks! It's bad enough that the bartenders know your biz....much less it's being recorded somewhere!
