Interactive Tabletops
Ok, this looks too cool. Mitsubishi has developed an interactive tabletop. It’s basically an interactive whiteboard laying flat and functioning as a table or desk. What’s really creative is that through a rather sophisticated series of antennas and separate receivers (usually in the chairs around the table), the system can tell which individuals are touching the screen, or if a single person is touching with both hands.
I’m sure it will be awhile before we see anything like this in schools, but what a world of possibilities! What could a sharp teacher or a group of tech-savvy kids do with a tool like this?
