Innovation of the week: Transform any tabletop into a giant tablet computer

Meet the Interactive Tabletop

Tables that transform to tablets.

We're not far from the day when any tabletop could be transformed into a giant tablet computer, said Nick Statt at The Verge. At Austin's South by Southwest Interactive Festival in March, Sony's R&D division unveiled a projector that uses depth sensors and motion tracking to turn any flat surface into an interactive touch screen. The "Interactive Tabletop" can also recognize what's placed on it.
