HeatSink

Like Information Annotation of the Kitchen, HeatSink
projects task-specific information directly onto the object
being measured, in this case water itself. A microcontroller
measures the temperature of water exiting the tap and
projects colored light into the stream of water to indicate its
temperature: red for hot and blue for cold. Users can
intuitively gauge the temperature of the water without
getting their hands wet. Successive users automatically
know what the prior water temperature was and avoid
scalding themselves.
