Research concept: connecting a bottle to digital content through a smartphone.
01 / THE RESEARCH QUESTIONFrom the bottle
From the bottle
to its story.
How can an everyday smartphone recognise a nearby bottle and access its digital content? The project set out to identify a technological method capable of creating this connection.
The development plan envisages multilingual content about wines, wineries and food pairings. Research into the devices provides a basis for subsequent prototyping and development.
