Augmented reality table lets you explore a book without opening it

We've seen touch-friendly tables before, but they're rarely so slick as the Multi Surface Experience, a newly launched collaboration between design firm Gensler and ad agency The Hive. The installation lets guests explore Gensler's architectural portfolio (the book you see above) just by walking up to a wavy table. An overhead projector, Kinect for Windows and special software present an interface wherever people stand; when users choose to learn more about a project, it pops up on a wall-mounted 4K display. The current experience is sadly confined to Gensler's Los Angeles office, but it's also the start of teamwork that could lead to commercial designs. Don't be surprised if company lobbies are much livelier in the future.

Why not just read the book?  :huh:

Unfortunately the printed media is slowly fading out. Less and less people buy/subscribe to newspapers, less and less people buy books and so on.....

 

There are advantages and disadvantages to this but i think it's a fact.
