Panasonic Smart Table

You won't have to worry about the "no phones at the dinner table rule" ever again – Panasonic's Smart Table allows you to check your emails and phone calls, video-call others, and more all while sitting at the kitchen table.

This interactive wooden table enables users to view content on its surface, and heats or cools drinks or food. The table features integrated wireless device charging and syncing capabilities and multiple infrared range sensors and cameras -- all backed by a proprietary operating system. Panasonic's Smart Table is still in the prototype stage.
