Mug for the Blind Chimes When Full

I’m clumsy enough that pouring my first cup of coffee each morning becomes a potentially punishing trial of dexterity. So honestly, were I blind, I’d be forced to drink straight from the pot—unless this mug existed.

By designers Sang-hoon Lee and Yong-bum Lim, The “Braun” Bell Mug concept senses liquid levels and chimes at three stages of fullness (about 1/3, halfway and 3/4). It would allow someone without sight to fill a mug perfectly every time while keeping their fingers clear of uncharted waters.

And the best part? There’s no element of this design that’s too implausible to keep it from manufacture. [Yanko Design via DVICE]
