Epson gets into interactive coffee tables
Watch out Microsoft Surface, because there’s a new touch-sensitive interactive coffee table in town: the X-Desk.
Much like Surface, X-Desk lets users interact with digital content through a flat 1024 x 768, 52in multi-touch screen that can also communicate with other gadgets, including mobile phones and cameras, placed onto its surface.
X-Desk will recognise up to 16,000 objects using “Smart Tags” and gesture recognition allows multiple users to, say, draw out objects on its surface.
