Restaurant Menus!
Even more silly links! Most search engines just ended up repeating the same handful of sites for 10-11 pages, so.. here they are?
Inamo.
An article about a restaurant in London that projects its menu onto the table tops, allowing the patrons to interact with it and order whatever they want.
Zupas.
A soup-based (why?) restaurant in Draper that allows people to send in recipes for their favorite soups, which will be displayed on the menu for a small period of time. While you stand in line, there's also a demonstration video playing that shows how to make a number of meals available in the restaurant.
Bagger's.
A German restaurant that allows its customers to order their meals all through a touch screen in front of them. After ordering, the meal will then be delivered to you by a series of rails from the roof.
Clo.
Another restaurant (this time wine-based) that allows you to order through a touch-screen. When you've ordered your drink, it is automatically dispensed into your glass.
Interactive Media Links.
A series of links about various new interactive media devices/developments which may or may not relate to the upcoming assessment.
Interactive Multi-Touch Display.
A video showcasing how it's possible to view and interact with an operating system and various programs on a transparent display of almost any shape and/or size.
iBar.
A ten meter long touch-sensitive display seen at a club. It doesn't have an explorable interface or anything like it, but it does easily register and link every item currently touching the bar desk.
The Interactive and Intelligent Table.
A series of multi-touch displays, where information and various other items can easily be moved from panel to panel, allowing everyone easy access to what you want to show them.
iPad.
Easily portable and highly interactive notebook device. I.. I'm sure almost everyone knows what the deal is here.
World of Coffee.
World of Coffee.
Another interactive table. World of Coffee is one huge table that allows for multiple people to be browsing it , with little interference, at any given time. Most of the interaction is done not through touch display, but through a giant, rotating dial whatsit.
Tactile Google Earth.
Much like the original link, but with an extra step towards hopeful holographic technology.
