PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an active foodware system which generates a sensory signal, particularly in a recognizable format, when the signal is initiated by an independent action, generally related to a food being presented.SOLUTION: An active foodware system comprises at least a dining plate 102 unit that provides visual stimuli by having a power source and a visual sensory stimulating component to provide light emanating from the dining plate. Other devices can provide auditory and haptic stimuli. The dining plate unit can be a single component where the device and circuitry are all contained in the unit and protected from water, or can be two components: an upper translucent dining plate and an underplate comprising the devices and circuitry for directing light through the upper translucent dining plate. |
