The "Stain"tablecloth [2x click to start movie]

An accident happens so easy…
imagine you are on a date and suddenly…
…you spill out your glass of wine!
embarrassing
But...what if the tablecloth could turn the ugly stain and your embarrassment into something nice.

spill =

By using embedded sensors, we can tack liquid spill on the tablecloth.
If this occurs, then patterns taking the form of cloves will appear at
strategic places on the tablecloth.
The clove-pattern is made with thermochromic ink and is invisible until
the "embarrassment" occurs ! (See movie clip).
