Interesting Tables

This post is not going to be a wisdom post or a NetSuite post. Nor is it a post about data tables or spreadsheets. I don't usually publish posts like this, but this week I just wanted to share one of my interests.

I've been into smart furniture for a while now: from smart mirrors to smart coffee tables (tables where you can play games with friends who come over). I've also been interested in how people DIY their own smart tables.

If a simple and clean setup is all you need, check out this video from Linus Tech Tips. This is probably the most practical of the three.

A very minimalist and futuristic design comes from Basically Homeless. It might not be very ergonomic, or practical (moving the mouse seems to be a struggle), but the effort to have the cleanest setup is laudable.

Hacksmith Industries has a smart desk that's very gimmicky. It has a sensor and a unity program that makes use of leap motion (hand gesture technology). I first learned about leap motion back in college, and that's what actually sparked my curiosity on possibly having my own coffee table interact with my TV. There's also a built in 3D printer that pops out, just like one of the screens.
