"Virtual Lemonade" is just water that looks like lemonade and tastes like lemonade. To quench one's thirst, try this drink concocted and can be shared over the digital highway. How can a drink be transported and shared in the internet? This has been made possible through pictures and videos posted on social media, but a real drink seems impossible.

In a new research conducted in the National University of Singapore, a group of researchers headed by Nimesha Ranasinghe worked on RGB color and pH sensors. As reported by Newscientist, the color and pH sensors and electrodes are used to capture color and the acidity of a glass of freshly prepared lemonade. Digitally, the system transmit the basic color and the sourness of the lemonade to a glass of water.

Additionally as revealed by Endgadget, the researchers put the lemonade in the glass of water and the LEDs did the replication of the colors, while the electrodes did the multiplication of the sourness thru the stimulation of the taste buds of the drinkers. Well, the technology of "Virtual Lemonade" production is not about replicating or cloning of the lemonade. It is but simply a stimulation process.

The researches did a test of how effective is the digital tumbler of water by enlisting 13 people in a taste test of both the real and virtual lemonades. Three colors of lemonades, namely red, cloudy white and green were used by the subjects. They put their tongues on the rim of the glass as they drank the lemonade for electrical stimulation.

Of course, the result of the taste tests revealed that the real lemonade is more sour than the virtual lemonade. This research was featured at the Yokohama, Japan Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction in March.
