Moneual has unveiled a design for a touchscreen cafe table that can display apps to help diners browse and order off the menu. Basically, Seamless Web has arrived to a real world setting.
It’s only natural that with tablets becoming more popular and television screens growing larger, someone would combine the ideas into a touchscreen table. But while a touch-capable coffee table would look cool in your living room, the general consumer market just isn’t quite there yet. That’s why we’re digging this Moneual Touch Table made for restaurants.
Designed to feature touchscreen menus, order placement interface, and payment options, the Touch Table would be the one stop shop for cafe-goers to enjoy a Seamless-esque experience by interacting solely with computers and minimally with humans. Except, of course, when the waitress brings you your coffee and pastry. Customers can also pay using their NFC-capable smartphones by simply tapping the device on the table screen. This could theoretically reduce human errors and make it easier for friends to split bills without asking the waitress to do the math twice. Additionally, the inclusion of an operating system within a table could mean infinitely possibilities, such as gaming apps, Foursquare check-ins, or Facebook browsing while you’re enjoying that drink. Just make sure you keep that Purell handy, because who knows how many people have fondled this table before you got there.
Moneual has yet to reveal much about Touch Table other than this photo teaser, but the company will be at the International CES and so will we. If the Touch Table is ready for play, we’ll be sure to keep you posted on interactivity, usability, and of course, price and availability.
