Sometime back, we featured a story before about some rather unusual bookshelves but this time the spotlight is on tables. Product designers are never happy with the normal 4 legs-1 flat top tables. They want to experiment. And sometimes, experiments lead to amazing results:

And here’s Microsoft bringing some technology to the table with its ‘Surface’

More technology. Here is another tech table that just might come in handy for your bar. iBar is a system for the interactive design of any bar-counter. Integrated video-projectors can project any content on the milky bar-surface. The intelligent tracking system of iBar detects all objects touching the surface. This input is used to let the projected content interact dynamically with the movements on the counter. Objects can be illuminated at their position or virtual objects can be “touched” with the fingers.
