The Violet Mir:ror utilizes RFID technology and functions as an interface between your everyday belongings and your computer. Imagine placing an RFID tag on an umbrella and wave it over to the Violet Mir:ror, where the computer will automatically pull the latest weather forecast information for you to view. As for cocktail shakers, those ought to yield the latest drink recipes. I wonder what happens when you wave the latest Playboy pin-up - will the computer direct you to NSFW sites instead? As absurd as it might sound, the Violet Mir:ror is not a concept but will roll out tomorrow for $69.99 (consisting of the Mir:ror, 3 ztamp:s, 2 nanoztag rabbits, and an additional skin for the surface).
