Hertzstück™ Future Dining Room

We invited influencers, media representatives and the general public to get up close with our "lab for the pocket". While the "Hertzstück™ Future Dining Room", a futuristic pop-up restaurant in London, opened its doors for only three days, its highlights can be relived.

TrinamiX has developed a prototype handheld device which uses Hertzstück™ technology to enable consumers to examine e.g. the ingredients of their food. During the London Restaurant Festival, BASF showcased the technology for the first time and displayed its potential as an individual `lab for the pocket´ for everyone. Science journalist and BBC presenter Dr. Michael Mosley accompanied the event and revealed the “secret science” behind the things we eat. The guests had the unique opportunity to shed light on the ingredients that make up our food, whilst enjoying an exclusive tasting menu. In addition, trinamiX experts provided further information on the technology and answered questions during the evening.

A groundbreaking prototype based on the Hertzstück™ sensor showed the impressive possibilities of the technology.
