Tweets can be seen and sometimes heard, but now they can be tasted with the assistance of an Arduino-powered machine.

Data Cocktail is an intricate system of machinery and algorithms that creates drinks based on the most recent Twitter updates.

The device searches for the five latest tweets with keywords linked to certain colours and then uses the assigned ingredients to create the cocktail.

Users can then assign each colour to a spirit or ingredient they like.

Created by Clément Gault and Koi Koi Design, the project's theme focuses around the 'tangible representation of data through our senses of sight', reported The Creators Project.

'Data Cocktail not only provides a unique kind of drink, but it also prints the cocktail's recipe along with the corresponding tweets. A gift you can take away,' Gault explains on the Data Cocktail website.

Processing and Arduino programming languages are the two key ingredients in making the perfect cocktail.

Every coloured 'bulb' attached to the system is filled with an ingredient, which can be changed.

The machine scours Twitter for posts that contain one of the speicif colours and uses it as a dose in the cocktail.

The pouring and mixing of each beverage is done through Twitter4J library, the unofficial Java library for the Twitter API.

A first application, developed in Processing, pilots the device.

Data is sent through the Twitter4J library to see if any words match with cocktail ingredients.

The application processes the data, while controlling the device – the robot, solenoid valves and the light.

'The robot is based on modified Zumo chassis, Arduino Pro, a Motor Shield and a Bluetooth module.'

As of right now, Data Cocktail uses six different ingredients that match six different Twitter requests, but according to Gault, 'the device could potentially propose more'.

Every cocktail consists of 5 doses, but can be easily changed with a push of a button and a beverage only takes about a minute to make – much faster than getting a drink from your favorite bar.

Ingredients can also be swtiched out for specific events.

'The system will accept either words (e.g. chocolate or rabbit), hashtags (e.g. #COP21 or #res2016) or also mentions (e.g. @fhollande or @Cointreau),' reads Data Cocktail's website.

'Curiously, only the word 'twitter' cannot be picked.'

Another device uses pictures to create visual art in beverages.

Ripple Maker combines 3D printing technology with an ink-jet system that prints our natural coffee extract, called Ripple Pods.

Users can choose designs through the Ripple app, such as inspirational messages and images of their loved ones.

Images can be taken from Ripples' content library, or customers can submit an image from their camera roll which will be transformed into foam art at the venue.

Cocktails consists of 5 doses, but can be changed on command and a beverage only takes about a minute to make – much faster than getting a drink from your favorite bar. The system will accept either words (e.g. chocolate or rabbit), hashtags (e.g. #COP21 or #res2016) or also mentions (e.g. @fhollande or @Cointreau)

The images can then be edited, scaled, filtered and have text added. The system also automatically adjusts to a range of coffee cups up to 7 inches high and 4.5 inches wide.

Priced at $999 (£640), the Ripple Maker is currently only available to commercial establishments that serve coffee.
