UK liquor brand Strongbow has designed what it ’s touting as the world ’s first digital bottle cap that doubles as a rudimentary remote . Using RFID engineering , theStartCapcan do everything from turning off the lights to powering up your stereo when you crack open a frigid one .

When the feeding bottle cap is remove a cover , and presumably shield , RFID tag is exposed . The signal is detected and accredit by a reader , and since the RFID tags are all unequaled , its signature can be then used to touch off a specific action mechanism . So the bottle ’s capabilities are still pretty much dependent on a nearby calculator , but the potential is endless . Every time you afford a bottle it could automatically put your home theatre of operations into sports mode . Or simply draw the mantle and shut the blinds so your neighbour ca n’t see you drinking at 9:30 in the good morning . [ StartCapviaPopSopviaNewlaunches ]
